Ξ Allocasuarina distyla (Vent.) L.A.S. Johnson

Typus: [AUSTRALIA]: Hort. Cels, Ventenat s.n. (holo-: G [G00341454]!; iso-: NSW [NSW62357] image seen).

Notes. – Johnson (1992: 75) transferred Casuarina distyla to his new genus Allocasuarina L.A.S. Johnson. The author designated the collection at G from Cels’s garden as the lectotype.Only one collection is extant inVentenat’s herbarium and should therefore be considered as the holotype.A clastotype is present in NSW and should be considered as the isotype.The two other collections mentioned by Johnson (1992: 75) in K [K000872501] (Herb. Forsyth. purchased 1835) and P [P00735055] (“donné par Bonpland en 1835”) have been very likely collected later in Cels’s garden and are here not considered as isotypes. The provenance of the plant has been recorded as “Cap de Diemen” in Tasmania but is clearly from New South Wales (Johnson, 1992).
