• Comment: A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1797 (1991) lists Leptospermum celsianum Ten. ex Steudel (published in Nom. Bot. 2nd edn, 2: 31 (1840)), and treats this name as a nomen nudum. Steudel's reference to the name is here treated as a secondary reference and not an attempt to publish a new name.
