A lectotype and new combination in Hypocalymma (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae)
RYE, B.L.
Hypocalymma (Endl.) Endl. was first described as a section of Leptospermum J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. and shortly afterwards raised to the generic level (Endlicher 1837, Endlicher 1840). It was based on the two species now known as H. angustifolium (Endl.) Schauer and H. robustum (Endl.) Lindl. In their recent review of the genus, Strid and Keighery (2002) recorded H. angustifolium as the type species, but they did not lectotypify it nor refer to any previous lectotypification. As H. robustum appears to be a better match for the protologue, that species is selected here as the lectotype.
