Description
Table 2. Specimens identified as possible type material of Hibiscus krichauffianus, and arguments for and against nominating these samples as original material.
| Accession | Pro | Con | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| K000659853 | Attributed to Babbage, a small fragment. Sent to Kew by Schomburgk in Sep.1871. | Includes fruit (label in Schomburgk’s hand). | Likely not seen by Mueller as this lacks an identification but part of original material. |
| K000659852 | Annotated by Mueller. | A single fruit with seeds annotated as H. krichauffii, not krichauffianus. Dated 1885 by Mueller therefore too late for consideration. | Not a syntype. |
| AD 97611531 | H. krichauffianus, in the Schomburgk herbarium, collected in South Australia. No further collecting information. Buds and flower, no fruit. | A large branched specimen with minimal flowering material. Connection to Babbage tenuous and looks different from the material at K. | Probably not a syntype. |
| MEL 0068091A | Locality of Darling River, annotated by Mueller as H. krichauffianus, collected by Goodwin. Mentioned in protologue. | A collection of six small fragments, one of which has a young capsule. Description in protologue does not (appear to) encompass these. | Syntype, as part of the type gathering but not material used in describing the species. |
| Herb. F. Mueller: five branches from different collectors mounted on same K sheet as those above. Without barcode. | Herbarium of the author of the species. Includes a specimen locality of Darling River. All but the one on the right have flowers and no fruit. These specimens are all from the Mueller Herb. Bentham cites a Babbage collection in Flora australiensis supporting the concept that one of these five is the original Babbage collection used by Mueller. | As discussed in text, specimens 1, 2, and 5 can be excluded. Either or both specimens 3 and 4 represent original material used by Mueller to describe the species and could be chosen. | Specimens 3 and 4 are possible syntypes, possibly matching either the Babbage or Goodwin material. |
