Showing Prasophyllum colemaniarum
Orchidaceae Juss.
Prasophyllum colemaniarum R.S.Rogers , legitimate, scientific
Rogers, R.S. (22 December 1923), Contributions to the Orchidaceous flora of Australia. Transactions and proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia 47: 337-338 BHL [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "Victoria: Bayswater, Mrs. Edith Coleman, 12/11/22."
  • Etymology: "Named in honour of Mrs. Coleman and her daughters, enthusiastic collectors of orchids in Victoria."
  • Comment: The specific epithet was published by Rogers as "colemanae" but he also states that the taxon was named in honour of multiple female persons with the surname Coleman. The epithet is thus corrected here to colemaniarum in accordance with ICN Art. 60.8(b) (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
