• Text: "Baron Ferdinand von Mueller cited the name B. horizontalis in First General Report of the Government Botanist on the Vegetation of the Colony in 1853, but it appears that the name B. horizontalis was never published. The name appears on several labels of specimens of B. cordigera at MEL suggesting that Mueller was planning to describe it himself, in which case Hooker was named as the future author in the report by mistake, or he was expecting J.D.Hooker to name the undescribed species as B. horizontalis rather than B. cordigera. In 1862, Mueller wrote a description of B. cordigera in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae without making any reference to B. horizontalis."

• APC Comment: A name of uncertain application, probably referable to Bossiaea cordigera Benth. ex Hook.f. (see I.R.Thompson, Muelleria 30(2): 132 (2012)).
