  • Type: "Tasmania, Mt Wellington, 1834, R. Gunn 268 (G-DC barcode G00468875 [photo!])."
  • Text: "Belcher (1996: 122) cites the type of the name Senecio leptocarpus as “Tasmania, Mt Wellington, Gunn 268. HOLOTYPUS: G-DC, on slip-tag: ‘268 …’” This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Belcher in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Shenzhen Code, Turland & al., 2018). As Belcher’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term “holotypus” is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
