• APC Comment: Although Eutaxia myrtifolia was nomenclaturally superfluous when published, due to Brown's inclusion of Dillwynia obovata in synonymy, it is not illegitimate under Art. 52.3 of the ICBN (Vienna Code (2006)). The epithet obovata was available in Eutaxia in 1810 and thus ought to have been adopted by Brown at that time. However, the name has been preoccupied since 1853 by Eutaxia obovata Turcz. Eutaxia myrtifolia (Sm.) R.Br. is thus the earliest available name in Eutaxia. See C.F.Wilkins et al., Nuytsia 20: 112 (2010)) for a discussion.
