• Text: "The lectotype specimen of Podolepis rosea var. mollissima as designated by Davis (1957) is mounted on the sheet MEL 2280275. This sheet appears to be a mixed collection consisting of three main components arranged from left to right across the sheet. Two fragment pockets labelled [Preiss] no. 61 and [Preiss] no. 53 are also present. The two outer components (MEL 2280275 part B) appear to be part of the same gathering and are at a later stage of maturation than the central component (MEL 2280275 part A). In 1956 G.L. Davis placed a determination slip partially behind and below the central component, clearly designating it as the lectotype of Podolepis rosea var. mollissima. Below this central component is also an old label with “53” written on it as well as an original label in Steetz’s hand stating that the collection was made along the Swan River near Perth. The two outer components (MEL 2280275 part B) are most likely an isolectotype."
