• Type: "AUSTRALIA, Tasmania, 1832, R. Gunn 107 (G-DC barcode G00468827 [photo!, microfiche MEL])."

• Text: "Belcher (1996: 116) cites the type of the name Senecio pectinatus as “HOLOTYPUS: Tasmania, 1832, Gunn 107 (G-DC). ISOTYPI: Gunn 107 (CGE; K; OXF; probably others, n.v.) …” 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 “holo typus” is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10. Belcher cites other collections at CGE, K and OXF as “isotypes”. These collections have not been seen by the present authors and their status as types is uncertain."
