• Comment: The basionym is clearly Adelopetalum bracteatum Fitzg. although Bailey does not apparently refer to this in the protologue. The Fitzgerald publication appeared 6 months before that of Bailey so the correct author citation should be (Fitzg.) F.M.Bailey and hence this name is a later nomenclatural synonym of Adelopetalum bracteatum Fitzg.
