Sims, J. (1 February 1801), Dianella caerulea: Blue Dianella. Curtis's Botanical Magazine 15: t. 505 [tax. nov.]

• Type: "...native of New Holland, and we believe was first raised in this country from seeds from Port Jackson, about the year 1783... by the late Mr. CUFF..."

• Comment: The plate number is cited as 506 by some authors (e.g. R.J.F.Henderson, Fl. Australia 45: 209 (1987)), possibly as a result of a numbering misprint in this volume of the Botanical Magazine. In the index to volume 15 and in the cumulative index to the first 42 volumes of the Magazine the plate number for Dianella caerulea is given as 505, with t. 506 indexed as Stapelia lentiginosa Sims. The numbering used in the indexes is followed here.
