Summary Dr. Nicolson's arguments on Article 48 and the Mitracarpus case are not easy to follow (Taxon 26: 569–574, 1977). He has not made out a case that the Article is likely to be misused, nor that it needs amendment ahead of a consideration of other Articles. He demonstrates that Mitrocarpus villosus is not legitimate, but M. hirtus (Linn.) de Candolle cannot replace it. A new combination is needed.
