The type of Sturt pea found
Swainsona (Online), Vol.31, pp.49-53
2018
Abstract
The type collection of Sturt pea was thought to have been lost soon after the publication of its original name, Donia formosa G. Don. For a long time, it was assumed (wrongly) to be at the Natural History Museum (BM), but it has now been located in the herbarium in Geneva (G). Annotations on the sheet show that the collection details have also been mistaken: instead of the ‘Curlew River’, collected by Phillip Parker King or Frederick Bedwell, it was collected by Allan Cunningham on the Malus Islands in the Dampier Archipelago.
