replaced synonym: Ledgeria foliata F.Muell. legitimate nomenclatural synonym: Galeola foliata (F.Muell.) F.Muell. legitimate
  • Text: "Though originally named foliata, it has no true leaves, but only leaf-like bracts at the nodes, and for this reason, and in honour of Mr. Ledger (who first introduced the Llama into Australia), Baron F. von Müeller requested me to change the name he had originally given to that of Ledgerii, his genus Ledgeria being reduced to a synonym ; but the Baron has since included the species in his Census under the original name of foliata."
  • Comment: Reference to the replaced synonym indirect, via Fitzgerald's inclusion of Galeola foliata (F.Muell.) F.Muell. in synonymy of this name (ICN Art. 41.3 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).

  • Comment: Mueller lists "Galeola foliata = G. Ledgeri, ...". Since Galeola foliata (F.Muell.) F.Muell. was previously accepted by Mueller on p. 111 of the Systematic Census (1882), Galeola ledgeri Fitzg. is here treated as being a newly-accepted name in this Supplement with G. foliata in synonymy.

  • Text: "`Macleay and Bellinger Rivers,' Nov., R.D. Fitzgerald s.n. (holo not found; lectotype Fitzgerald's plate here designated)."
  • Comment: The designation of Fitzgerald's plate as the "lectotype" by Clements has no standing, as the plate is not part of the original material of the replaced synonym, Ledgeria foliata F.Muell.
