Abstract

In this note, we highlight a series of possible misinterpretations (collectors, localities, previous writings) and other problems in the nomenclatural study by Wang et al. (2022) on lectotypification of the name Brachyscome neocaledonica ≡ Pytinicarpa neocaledonica (Asteraceae: Astereae). In our opinion, this lectotype designation led to debatable conclusions that added confusion to taxonomy of Pytinicarpa G.L.Nesom, an already taxonomically complicated genus. However, we accept that type designation and explain its nomenclatural and taxonomic consequences.
