Symplocos gittinsii (Noot.) Jessup , legitimate, scientific
Jessup, L.W. (1 December 2011), A taxonomic revision of Symplocos Jacq. (Symplocaceae) in Australia. Austrobaileya 8(3): 238-239, Map 8 [comb. et stat. nov.]
basionym: Symplocos cochinchinensis var. gittinsii Noot. legitimate
  • Etymology: "The name commemorates Clifford Halliday Gittins (1904-1995), an amateur botanical collector of mostly Queensland plant specimens."
  • Comment: Although Jessup indicated that Symplocos gittinsii was a "nom. et stat. nov." it is treated here as a comb. et stat. nov., since Nooteboom's original misspelling of the epithet is considered to be a correctable error under ICBN Art. 60.1 (Vienna Code (2006)).
