• Text: "Thompson (1989) cited sheet number 'NSW154729' as lectotype of Leptospermum semibaccatum. That number is recorded for this collection in the herbarium register at NSW but, unfortunately, was never written on the sheet. Consequently, it was later given the barcode number NSW482238 when the type was digitised in 2002."
