Melaleuca paludosa R.Br. 

Callistemon salignus var. paludosus (R.Br.) F.Muell. 

R.Sweet’s Callistemon glaucus is based on Metrosideros glauca Bonpl., an illegitimate later homonym (non Dum.-Cours. 

(1811). Accordingly, authorship is therefore attributed to Sweet alone (ICBN, Art. 58 (2006)). The same applies to other 

combinations based on Bonpland’s name. If placed in Melaleuca, the name of this taxon is Melaleuca paludosa R.Br. A 

proposal to reject the name Melaleuca paludosa R.Br., in order to avoid confusion with Melaleuca paludicola Craven and to 

preserve the long-associated usage of the epithet ‘glauca’ with the taxon from WA, has been made by L.A.Craven & 

A.E.Orchard, Taxon 56: 1301-1302 (2007).

**WG – treatment of this species is messy given the recognition of Callistemon. Treated as Melaleuca williamsii 

when included in Melaleuca, with three subspecies. In Callistemon we revert to C. pungens, with the autonymic 

subspecies williamsii in synonymy. Subsp. synoriensis becomes a synonym of C. sp. Gibraltar Range (R.Johnstone 

1738) (treated at species rather than subspecific rank). This leaves subsp. fletcheri – here treated at subspecific rank 

as a new phrase name. Is subspecific or specific rank preferred for this taxon?**

The type locality for this species was erroneously given as ‘Capite van Diemen’ by J.J.H. de Labillardiere, Nov. Holl. Pl. 

Spec. 2: 9 (1806). This error was further compounded by G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 3: 117 (1866), who placed this taxon in 

synonymy of Kunzea sericea Turcz. J.Thompson, Telopea 3: 361 (1990) erroneously placed Kunzea sericea (as “Kunzea 

sericea (Labill.) Turcz.”) in synonymy of Leptospermum sericeum. See C.A.Gardner, J. Roy. Soc. W. Australia 47: 61

The name "Melaleuca parvifolia Otto" recorded by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1965 (1991) appears to be an 

error. Otto validly published the name Melaleuca parviflora, and the variant "parvifolia" does not appear in the protologue 

(Horae Physicae Berol. 37 (1820)). Chapman (loc. cit.) also records "Melaleuca parviflora Link", as a misspelling of Otto’s 

name, but this is in fact a secondary reference only.
