The locations of collection and collectors of specimens described by Labillardierc in 'Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen' - additional notes

Abstract

Several plants described by Labillardire and indicated to have been collected in Tasmania are shown to be species endemic to Western Australia. The locations are corrected and collectors are indicated if the original specimens could not have been collected by Labillardiere. The reasons for these errors are discussed and it is concluded that caution is required in accepting Labillardiere's type locations.
