Typus: AUSTRALIA. Tasmania: Van Diemen, La Billardière s.n. (holo-: FI-W [FI016964] image seen; iso-: B-W [B-W 5989-01 0]!, G-DC [G00478846]!, FI-W [FI016965] image seen, P [P00834725, P00834726]!, P-JU n° 10157 [P00307178]!).
Notes. – The seeds of this new species were received from Hamelin who took part in the Baudin Expedition to the Southern Territories (see introduction). A single gathering exists in Ventenat’s herbarium at G, a plant cultivated in Malmaison with a fragment in G-DC. The collection in Ventenat’s herbarium is designated here as the lectotype. Ventenat in Jardin de Malmaison (1804-1805: tab. 81) wrote in the note following the species description that his new species seems to be the same [“…paroît…”] as the one mentioned by La Billardière (1800: 141). Apium prostratum Labill. is a nom. nud. in 1800 but was validly published in September 1805 by La Billardière (1804 -1805: 76, tab. 103). However, Ventenat’s name had been published between December 1804 and January 1805 (Stearn, 1939) and antedates La Billardière’s. Both names are independent and not based on the same types. Short (1979: 217) combined both names and mentioned a type in P as the holotype and an isotype in G-DC. In the latter herbarium, original material of both names are present. A holotype and two isotypes of La Billardière’s later homonym are present respectively in FI-W, and in B-W and P-JU.
