  • Text: "Benl (1971) and Green (1981, 1985) have adopted the combination P. eriotrichus (W. Fitzg. ex Ewart & White) W. Fitzg. in, I assume, the belief that Fitzgerald (1912) was not describing a new species but making a new combination. However, this is incorrect, as it is evident that Ptilotus eriotrichum W. Fitzg. was published by Fitzgerald without knowledge of Ewart & White’s earlier publication."
