Xylomelum benthamii Xylomelum benthamii is a plant in the woody pear genus of the Proteaceae family. It was formerly considered a variety of "Xylomelum pyriforme". It is native to south-eastern Queensland, Australia, and was described from material collected on 25 June 1829 on the Brisbane River some 140 km north-west of what is now Brisbane, the state capital. It was mistakenly linked with the name "Xylomelum salicinum" (Meisn.) Benth., and was given the replacement name "X. benthamii" in 2007 by A.E. Orchard, with the specific epithet honouring botanist George Bentham.

It is one of three or four related species with hanging inflorescences, which is an unusual feature within the genus.

Brown's taxonomic arrangement of Banksia Robert Brown's taxonomic arrangement of "Banksia" was published in his book of 1810, "Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen", and expanded in the supplement to that publication, "Supplementum Primum Prodromi Florae Novae Hollandiae", in 1830. It was the first survey of "Banksia" species to be published, and included descriptions of a number of previously undescribed species.

Forstera Forstera is a genus of small perennial plants in the Stylidiaceae family named in honour of the German naturalists Johann Reinhold Forster and his son, Georg Forster, who had previously described "Forstera"'s sister genus, "Phyllachne" just five years earlier. It comprises five species that are endemic to New Zealand with the exception of "F. bellidifolia", which is endemic to Tasmania. The species in this genus resemble those in a subgenus of the related genus "Stylidium" called "Forsteropsis", but they are more closely related to the genus "Phyllachne". Proposals to merge the two genera based on information from cladistic analysis have emerged because of these genera's morphological similarities and evidence that they are paraphyletic.
