Short & Sinkora (1988) stated that all the Preiss Australian spicimens received by J. Steetz, who contributed the Compositae,were in his hands by 1843' McGillivray (1975) suggestedthat somePreiss collection numbers,sPecifically those between 2621 and 2644, might well have been representedby one or very few specimens. The only collection number in this range representingAcacia type material was the type number Meissnel cited fol A. myrtifolia var. najor (2641) and no exampleof that number has been seenby us' Typification of Meissner's Acacia names "Flora In the courseofpreparing the accountofAcacia for the ofAustralia" the statusof all 56 taxa "Plantae describedby Meissner in the Preissianae"(1844 and 1848) and in a subsequentpaper in ,,BotanischesZeitung,, ( 1855)has been carefully assessedand the namestypified wherepossible. The new taxa were divided betweenspecies (of which 12 are now synonymsof othel taxa) and vadeties (ofwhich l8 arenow consideredsynonyms); this meansthat more than halfthe noveltieshe described have been synonymised,a rather surprising statisticgiven the fact that in the 1840s,relatively few taxa from Western Australia had been described,and those mostly by Robert Brown (1813) and GeorgeBentham (1842). Many of Meissner'svarieties represented minor variantsin the populations, which may explain in part the very high number of synonymsat that level. The new taxa ofAcacla describedby Meissnerare mostly from south-westwestern Australia, the exceptionsbeing,4. falcinetla arldA. Iatrobei whi:chwere based on Latrobe collections from eastern Australia, andA. glaucifoliawh\ch wasbased on aEuropean-growngarden plant. The new taxa wele basedprincipally on Preisscollections but includeda substantialnumber ofJ. Drummond collections. - Two south-west Austalian taxa were based on other than Preiss or Drummond collections A. denudatavar. splnossissima(based on a European-glowngarden plant) and A. gilbertit (basedorr Gilbert 50). The primary setsof Preisscollections of Acaciq axeat theHerbarium,Botanical Museum, Lund, Sweden (LD) and The New York Botanical Garden (NY); the latter set is Meissner's personal herbarium which was purchasedby Columbia University in New York City and latel transferredto NY. The Preissspecimens at LD were annotatedby Meissnerin most casesbut the remaindel of the label is often in Lehmann's hand. As to Meissner'spersonal helbarium atNY, the conclusionSeems "Plantae inescapablethat Meissnerannotated the specimensafter the publication of Preissianae",for "Plantae he included in many cases,as part of the labels,the pagenumber in Preissianae",as well as referenceto subsequentuse of the name in other works, chiefly Bentham's accountof the genus in "Flora the Australiensis". Both Cdsp (1983) and Wilson (1983) concluded that, taken as a whole, the best set of Preiss collections is at LD. our analysisof the type specimensof MeissnerAcacic taxa basedon Preiss collections demonstratesthat one cannot make the assumptionthat the LD sPecimenbest qualifies as lectotype. We found that nearly as many specimens were better leplesented and/or bettel authenticatedin Meissner's own herbarium at NY. For example,A. resttaceavat scopar t at N\ is completely annotatedto the varietal level by Meissnerbut the LD specimenlacks either a species or varietal epithet. Similarly, there are several other examples of Preiss specimensat LD not annotated by the author with the name published by him, namely, A acuminata v?tr. ciliatL' A. denudata,A. meissneri andA. obovqta \ar. mlnor' As noted above,the annotationsby Meissner "Plantae on the NY specimenswere likely to have beenadded after the publication of Preissianae".
