Summary It is shown that the name Casuarina equisetifolia was validly published by Linnaeus in 1759. The genus was treated as monotypic, based on a plate in Rumphius' Herbarium Amboinense , and the authority of the genus is therefore also to be attributed to Linnaeus. Rumphius' name for the species, Casuarina litorea , was not accepted by Linnaeus.
