Ξ Templetonia retusa (Vent.) R. Br.

Lectotypus (designated here): [AUSTRALIA]: Hort. Cels, Ventenat s.n. (G [G00341503]!).

Notes. – Two gatherings are present in Ventenat’s herbarium. A flowering specimen from Cels’s garden and the fruiting specimen [G00341504] originally brought back by his brother Louis Ventenat from Australia while he took part in the “Entrecasteaux Expedition” (see introduction). The flowering specimen from Cels’s garden is here designated as the lectotype. Ross (1982: 3) in the revision of the genus Templetonia R. Br. cited a specimen at G as holotype but two specimens exist representing two gatherings. This cannot be considered as an implicit lectotypification.
