• Comment: Mueller cites "F. M. Plants Indigenous to the Colony of Victoria, pl. xxxix" [i.e. F.J.H. von Mueller, Pl. Indig. Victoria 2: t. 39]. However, the second volume of Pl. Indig. Victoria was issued in 1863 only as page proofs and thus is not effectively published under ICN Art. 30.1 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
