Comment:Ewart makes no reference to a basionym but Valerianella eriocarpa had previously been recorded in the Australian literature. Since Ewart also fulfills the conditions for publication of the name Valerianella dentata var. eriocarpa as that of a new taxon by providing a brief description, the varietal name is here treated as a new combination by Ewart under ICN Art. 41.4 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
