Text: "When revising the Helipterum albicans complex (Wilson 1960), I assumed that Helipterum incanum DC.(1838) represented a new combination based on Helichrysum incanum Hook. (1829), a name that de Candolle had placed in synonymy under Helipterum incanum var. tricolor DC. After discussion with my colleague Gillian Perry I have decided that this assumption was incorrect. I now consider that Helipterum incanum DC. was published as a new species; the name was, however, superfluous and illegitimate since a previously published species name was cited under one of its varieties (i.e. under var. tricolor). The epithet var. tricolor is therefore legitimate but it does not create the autonym 'var. incanum' since the species name to which it was applied was not legitimate. The epithet var. tricolor therefore has priority over its synonym var. incanum (Hook.) Paul G. Wilson (1960)."
