Stigmaphyllon occidentale is described and illustrated. This species belongs to the S. paralias complex and can be differentiated by indumentum, leaf, floral and fruit morphology. This work includes a full morphological description for the new species, along with illustrations, a distribution map, comments on conservation assessment, ecology and taxonomy, and a table distinguishing S. occidentale from S. bannisterioides, S. harleyi and S. paralias.
