Calamanthus campestris wayensis Mathews View in CoL

Calamanthus campestris wayensis Mathews, 1912a: 338 View in CoL (West Australia (Lake Way)).

Now Calamanthus campestris wayensis Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 428, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 154–157.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 587961 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Lake Way , 26.50S, 120.25E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 509), East Murchison, Western Australia, Australia, on 21 July 1909, by F.L. Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2093) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. The specimen bears, in addition to the field label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 435, opp. p. 288, text p. 290), where it is confirmed as the type of wayensis.

A second specimen, AMNH 587962 (Mathews no. 4181), collected at Lake Way on 8 November 1909 by Whitlock, is a paratype. Mathews’ numbers 4178–4180 apparently also applied to Calamanthus specimens from Lake Way, collected on the same day. However, these entries have been marked out and other specimens entered opposite the same numbers! There is no way of knowing when these specimens were presumably exchanged, or even of recognizing them in other collections, as Mathews virtually never wrote his catalog number on any specimen except a type, and frequently not then. An additional specimen came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, collected by Whitlock (not Wilson, as written on the Rothschild label) on the same date, but labeled only ‘‘E. Murchison’’ and said to be a juvenile from spirits. There is no way of knowing if this is one of Mathews’ exchanged specimens and I do not consider it a paratype.
