{Metrosideros citrina Curtis 1794, Botanical Magazine, vol. 7, pi. 260.) 
The seeds of this ornamental myrtaceous shrub from Australia were received 
under the name Callistemon lanceolatum DC. 1828 (Prodromus. vol. 3, p. 223 
which was based on Metrosideros lanceolate J. E. Smith 1797 'Transaction? of 
the Linnean Society, vol. 3, p. 272). Dr. Smith rited i; M. citrina. Curt., Mag. 
t. 260," and remarked in part as follows: "I would never change a name that 
has been generally in use, whether published or not; but this is too prepos- 
terous to be retained." As the present rules of botanical nomenclature require 
the retaining of the first specific name applied to a species, Curtis*s name is 
here restored.

part of Australia in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.
