Valid publication of Ptilotus stirlingii subsp. australis (Amaranthaceae)
DAVIS, R.W. AND BUTCHER, R.

In an oversight in a paper (Davis & Butcher 2010) resolving the status of infraspecific taxa in Ptilotus stirlingii (Lindl.) F.Muell. the Latin diagnosis for the new subspecies Ptilotus stirlingii subsp. australis R.W.Davis & R.Butcher was omitted, thereby rendering the name invalidly published under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. This omission is rectified here, and the new subspecies formally described.
