Paxton, J. (1849), Paxton's Magazine of Botany 15: 269 [tax. nov.]

• Type: "...raised from seeds a few years ago..."

• Comment: The authorship of this name is given by some authors (e.g. A.N.Schmidt-Lebuhn et al., Taxon 64(1): 105 (2015); Paul G.Wilson, Nuytsia 28: 23 (2017)) as "(Benth.) Paxton", based on Helichrysum macranthum Benth. However, there is no basionym listed in Paxton's work and this is here treated as a new name rather than a new combination.

• APC Comment: A name of uncertain application, but possibly referable to Edmondia Cass.
