  • Lectotype: Portland, W. Allitt 5 (MEL 220866)
  • Comment: "Art. 9.10 states that a lectotype should be chosen from an isotype "if such exists, ...." Although there is no doubt that Bentham saw Stuart's collection it must be deemed to be an "uncited specimen", not a syntype specimen. I have therefore chosen a syntype specimen, "Portland, Alitt", as the new lectotype of the name Brachyscome cardiocarpa."
