Metrosideros lanceolata Sm., nom. illeg., nom. superfl., scientific nom. nov. apni
Smith, J.E. (1797), Botanical Characters of Some Plants of the Natural Order of Myrti. Transactions of the Linnean Society of London 3: 272 [nom. nov.] BHL
replaced synonym: Metrosideros citrina Curtis legitimate
  • Text: "It is totally unaccountable to me how this plant came by the name of citrina, there being nothing about it approaching to a lemon-colour, except the pollen, which would hardly have occasioned such a denomination. Sometimes I have imagined it might allude to a resemblance in the appearance or smell of the leaves to a lemon tree, which however does not exist ; and if it did, the name ought to have been citrea. I would never change a name that has been generally in use, whether published or not ; but this is too preposterous to be retained."
