TitleFlora Japonica sistens plantas insularum japonicarum ... / Thunberg
AbbreviationFl. Jap. [Thunberg]
AuthorsC. P. Thunberg
Publication DatesAug 1784
TL214.346
RemarksSome of the new names in Thunberg's Aug 1784 publication were inadvertently validated in J. A. Murray's Syst. Veg. ed. 14 (May-Jun 1784); for such names Thunberg is the author (see B. Bartholomew, D. H. Nicolson & B. Nordenstam, Taxon 46: 311-314. 1997; they addressed the authorship of the relevant new Japanese species in Murray's work and concluded "Thunb. (in Murray))." Likewise, new names published in "Nova Acta Regiae Soc. Sci. Upsal. vol. 4" (post-Oct 1784) do not have priority over the identical names published in J. A. Murray, Syst. Veg., ed. 14. May-June 1784 (See Taxon 39 (3): 535. 1990).
