We thank Ms Sylvia Humphrey M.Sc., assistant Keeper of Geology, Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums (that manage the Great North Museum: Hancock), Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K. for providing us with the photograph of the Zamita gigas specimen that now becomes the neotype of this species name. We are grateful to John McNeill (Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, Scotland) for his valuable improvements to this proposal.
