  • Type: "Australia: NORTHERN TERRITORY [Queensland]: Creen Creek, Gulliver s.n. (MEL, holotype)"
taxonomic synonym: Zornia diphylla subvar. perglandulosa Domin legitimate
  • Comment: Reynolds & Holland cite the Type as from "Queensland, Burke District: Creen Creek". Also note holotype not located at MEL. Gulliver 57, 1874 (MEL) from between Norman and Gilbert Rivers probably collected at Creen Creek, probably isotype.

  • Text: "Mohlenbrock recorded seeing two Gulliver specimens from MEL, the holotype specimen from Creen Creek (cited above) and among the other specimens seen, he referred to a specimen collected from “between the Norman and Gilbert Rivers, Gulliver 57” (MEL1544960). Because of the labelling, Mohlenbrock clearly believed they were of different gatherings. Reynolds & Holland (1989: 20) were aware that Creen Creek is not in the N.T., but located between the Norman and Gilbert Rivers and suggested that MEL1544960 is “probably an isotype” and that “[I]t agrees with the protologue and illustration of the holotype.” This may be correct, but with Gulliver living in the area for some years, he may also have collected the species on two occasions."
