• Text: "Bean (2008: 233 [i.e. A.R.Bean, Telopea 12(2): 233 (2008)]) indicated for Ptilotus corymbosus a specimen preserved at BM (barcode BM000907281) as the holotype, while another one specimen [at K, barcode K000196973, image at http://apps.kew.org/herbcat getImage. do?imageBarcode=K000196972 (specimen on the left)] was reported as isotype. However, Brown (1810: 415 [i.e. R.Brown, Prodr. 415 (1810)]) did not specify any holotype in the protologue. According to the Art. 9.9 (see Ex. 10) [i.e. ICN Art. 9.9, Ex. 10 (Melbourne Code, 2012)]., the Bean’s choice and use holotype is an error to be corrected as lectotype."
