Correction to ‘New taxa and notes on Banksia L.f. (Proteaceae)’ 
by A.S. George, Nuytsia 6(3): 309-317 (1988) 
In the above paper a new variety of Banksia leptophylla was described. In a heading on p. 314, 
the spelling ‘var. mellitica’ was printed, but this was a typographical error and should have read 
‘var. melletica’ . The latter spelling was used elsewhere in the paper (map caption, abstract). 
Article 75.2 of the "International Code of Botanical Nomenclature" allows for correction where 
orthographic variants appear in the original publication. The spelling 'Banksia leptophylla var. 
melletica’ is here designated as correct and the spelling ‘var. mellitica’, rejected.
