• APC Comment: Authorship is sometimes attributed to J.D.Hooker (abbreviated as Hook.f.) rather than W.J.Hooker (abbreviated as Hook.), but the index of Hooker's Icon. Pl. vol. 3 attributes this name to "Hook.". W.J.Hooker deliberately rendered the epithet as "tasmannica" and this spelling is retained here under ICBN (2006) Articles 60.1 and 60.2
