Note.

No specimens are cited by de Vriese (1854) in the protologue for Dampiera verreauxii , although de Vriese indicates that he examined material of this taxon made available by Verreaux at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris (P) in 1850. Verreaux visited Australia during 1842-1846 but his collecting efforts were confined to Tasmania and the east coast of Australia ( George 2009) and so it is unlikely he would have obtained material from Western Australia directly. Carolin (1992i) postulated that "The type was probably collected by J. Drummond (Drummond 4: 186 cited by Krause, loc. cit. [= Pflanzenr. 54: 170 (1912)])". This is possible, as Drummond did collect extensively through south-west Western Australia (including the region where this species occurs) and his specimens were sent to various institutions throughout Australia and Europe. Three Drummond collections of this taxon have been located (MEL 42188 [image!], P 03035588 [image!] and P 04057856 [image!]). However, it is not clear whether these specimens represent original material and neither specimen at P is an exact match for the plant illustrated in the protologue. Accordingly, the illustration included in the protologue is here designated as the lectotype for Dampiera verreauxii de Vriese.
