  • Comment: Pedley cited this name as "Racosperma nelsonii (Maslin) Pedley, comb. nova" and listed Acacia nelsonii Maslin as "basionym". Since Acacia nelsonii Maslin is an illegitimate later homonym of A. nelsonii Saff. (1914), Pedley's name is here treated as a replacement name under ICN Art. 6.14 (Shenzhen Code, 2018), rather than a new combination as stated by Pedley.
