Lepidosperma amansiferrum is an orthographic error of L. amantiferrum
BARRETT, R.L.
The name Lepidosperma amansiferrum R.L.Barrett was recently published for a new species restricted to banded ironstone formations in the southern Goldfields of Western Australia (Barrett 2007). Karen Wilson and Peter Wilson (both Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney) recently drew my attention to an error in the way the Latin words were combined to form this name. Constructed from the Latin words amans (loving) and ferrum (iron), the word amans, when combined with ferrum, should be declined to amanti- (Stearn 1992).
