Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.
Type:"Hab. — Howell (Bora Creek), 19 miles south of Inverell, on the tin-granite (E. C. Andrews, per favour of E. H. Cambage; April, 1904, and April, 1905, in bud and fruit); (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman, August, 1905). ..." [several other collections cited without clear indication of which was the type gathering]
Comment:The Maiden & Boorman gathering from Howell had previously been designated as a (first step) lectotype. Chippendale's citation of the Maiden & Boorman specimen held at NSW as the "holo" is here regarded as a correctable error under ICN Art. 9.10 and thus constitutes effective designation of a (second step) lectotype under ICN Art. 9.17 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
Type:"NEW SOUTH WALES: North Western Slopes: Howell, J.H. Maiden & J.L. Boorman, Aug 1905 (lecto NSW; isolecto G, K, L)."
Text:"TYPE CITATION: Maiden cited seven collections in the protologue without specifying a type. He did however refer to one ('Tingha, Boorman, 6.1904') as having 'fruits less pear-shaped than the type'. He later designated 'Howell, N.S.W. (J.H.M and J.L. Boorman)' as the type (Crit. Revis. Eucalyptus 2: 99, legend to plate 56 (1910)), and had labelled this specimen 'Type'. This amounts to lectotypification."
