Text:
"Although Melville (1955) and Briggs (1960) give the type provenance as 'in paludos prope Kingstown, R. Brown, Oct.-Nov, 1804' (R.Br. iter Austral. 3253), based on a specimen at BM, the protologue gives 'ad Hunters River, Hawkesbury etc., R.Brown'. There is a sheet at G with locality exactly as for the protologue and a label 'Ranunculus plebeius' in Brown's hand. It is almost certainly the specimen cited by de Candolle and is chosen as the lectotype. The Kingstown (=Newcastle, N.S.W.) specimens at K and BM may comprise all or part of the 'etc.' in the protologue (or may even be part of the same gathering, differently labelled, as the G sheet). They are tentatively treated here as remaining syntypes."
