Atriplex paludosa subsp. baudinii |
Atriplex paludosa subsp. baudinii is subspecies of Atriplex paludosa (marsh saltbush) that is endemic to Western Australia.
It grows as an erect shrub up to a metre high. Leaves are oval in shape, one to four centimetres long, 2 to 15 millimetres wide, and scaly all over. [1]
It was first published as Atriplex paludosa var. Baudini by Alfred Moquin-Tandon in 1849, based on specimens collected by during the Baudin expedition. The orthography of Baudini was later altered to baudinii. [2] At the same time, Moquin-Tandon published Atriplex drummondii, based on specimens collected by James Drummond, but the latter name is now considered a taxonomic synonym of the former. [3] In 1938, Paul Aellen promoted the variety to subspecies rank. [4] At the same time, the inexplicably published Atriplex paludosa var. typica for this taxon, a name that is invalid, illegal and superfluous. [5]
It occurs almost exclusively within the Southwest Botanical Province of Western Australia. [6]
The taxonomy of Banksia integrifolia has a long and complex history, the result of confusion caused by the species' great variability, and similarities with some closely related species. The existence of hybrids between B. integrifolia and related species as well as early attempts to classify the species based on dried specimen material have also contributed to the confusion.
Banksia integrifolia subsp. compar is a subspecies of Banksia integrifolia. It has larger, glossier leaves than other subspecies, and occurs much further north.
Maireana is a genus of around 57 species of perennial shrubs and herbs in the family Amaranthaceae which are endemic to Australia. Species in this genus were formerly classified within the genus Kochia. The genus was described in 1840 by the botanist, Moquin-Tandon and named to honour Joseph François Maire (1780-1867), an amateur botanist who befriended him during the author's first visit to Paris in 1834.
