A nomenclatural correction in Verreauxia (Goodeniaceae)
GEORGE, A.S.
In the Flora of Australia vol. 35, p. 300 (1992), Roger Carolin used the name Verreauxia villosa E.Pritzel for a rather rare species of this small Western Australian genus. He cited Verreauxia dyeri E.Pritzel ex Hemsley as a synonym. The name V. villosa is current on FloraBase . In 2005, when checking the holdings of this species at Kew for imaging early Australian collections for the Global Biodiversity Information Facility/ Australian Virtual Herbarium project, I found that the second of these names seems to be correct as its publication predates that of the former by just a few weeks. A typographical error in a date of publication apparently led to the previous interpretation.
