  • Text: "Eucalyptus quadrans: from Latin quadrans (a quarter, fourth) but in fact the epithet was said to refer to not one but all four sides of the hypanthium."
  • Comment: As indicated by George, the taxon name does not match the etymology supplied by the original authors but since it is nonetheless orthographically correct the original spelling is to be retained under ICN Art. 60.1 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
