42. Melaleuca gnidiifolia Vent., Jard. Malmaison 1: tab. 4. 1803.

Lectotypus (designated here): [AUSTRALIA]: Hort. Malmaison, Ventenat s.n. (G [G00341462]!; isolecto-: G-DC [G00659775]!).

= Melaleuca thymifolia Sm.

Notes. – Two specimens of a single gathering have been located: one in Ventenat’s herbarium at G and a fragment in G-DC with the mention “M. B. Delessert 1816”. The later was therefore part of Ventenat’s herbarium before Delessert gave this fragment Candolle (see introduction). The collection from Empress Joséphine’s garden in Ventenat’s herbarium is designated here as the lectotype.
