  • Comment: A note at the beginning of Mueller's paper, signed by G.Bentham, states "In the few cases where I clearly identified them [i.e. Mueller's new species] with others previously described, I have given the published names, adding his manuscript ones for the purpose of reference, and retaining his characters as completing our previous knowledge of the plants.". These names, proposed by Mueller but placed in synonymy by Bentham and thus invalidated by him, are here attributed to Bentham alone.
