Through the loan of herbarium specimens and unpublished manuscript descriptions of new palm species, Ferdinand Mueller made a contribution toward ‘Palmae Australasicae’, the foundational taxonomic work on the palm family (Arecaceae/Palmae) in Australia, published by the German botanists Hermann Wendland and Oscar Drude in 1875. In ‘Palmae Australasicae’, Wendland and Drude established twelve new genera and described eight new species, thus, in a single publication, increasing about two-fold the taxonomic and nomenclatural scope of the palm family in Australasia. For Australia (including Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island), they enumerated a total of sixteen genera, twenty-six species and three subspecies. Mueller, however, was critical of the taxonomic decisions made by Wendland and Drude, particularly concerning generic limits. Mueller’s taxonomic views on the palms were conservative and his interpretation of generic limits was relatively broad, preferring fewer genera and more species in each genus.

?属的这种多余

通过借出植物标本馆标本和未发表的新棕榈物种手稿描述，Ferdinand Mueller 为澳大利亚棕榈科（Arecaceae/Palmae）的基础分类学“Palmae Australasicae”做出了贡献，由德国植物学家 Hermann Wendland 和Oscar Drude 于 1875 年。在“Palmae Australasicae”中，Wendland 和 Drude 建立了 12 个新属并描述了 8 个新物种，因此，在一份出版物中，澳大利亚棕榈科的分类和命名范围增加了大约两倍。对于澳大利亚（包括豪勋爵岛和诺福克岛），他们共列举了十六属、二十六种和三个亚种。然而，穆勒对温德兰和德鲁德所做的分类决定持批评态度，尤其是关于通用限制的决定。
