  • Text: "By citing H. ulicina R.Br. as a synonym of this taxon, Lamont et al., loc. cit., prima facie rendered H. cygna illegitimate. However, it seems from the introduction to their paper that what was intended was merely to draw attention to Bentham's (1879) misapplication of the name H. falcata to a specimen of H. ulicina in K. In the interests of nomenclatural stability the intent in the introduction has been preferred over the unintentional formal synonymy."
