  • Type: Baeobotrys nemoralis Forster & G.Forster
  • Comment: This name does not seem to have been applied to Australian taxa however it is recorded by N.T.Burbidge, Dict. Austral. Pl. Genera (1963) 32. Several orthographic variants of this name do occur (eg. `Baeobothrys Vahl', `Baeobotris Blume' – see Index Nominum Genericorum 1 (1979) 169–170), however none seem to have been applied to Australian taxa.

  • Comment: The author asserts that the 1775 editions of the Forsters' Characteres Generum Plantarum are not effectively published and that effective publication occurred only with the 1776 quarto edition. Proposals to conserve genera and to suppress other editions are also mooted. The 1775 publication date is maintained here until the outcome of these proposals is known.
