Name and date
"Thus the Pavonia or Laurelia of Chili has its nearly related genus Atherosperma in Van Diemen's Island; where also a genus that I shall name Tasmania [sic] occupies the place of the Wintera of South America, from which it differs chiefly in having a single ovarium;... — s:The miscellaneous botanical works of Robert Brown/Volume 1/General remarks on the botany of Terra Australis 1814."

However, gives "Brown, R. in Candolle, A.P. de (1817), Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale 1: 440, 445 [tax. nov.]" noting the type is undesignated. Worth including if the history gets expanded, I didn't look into it any deeper than this. I don't know whether this earlier mention and misspelling would be regarded as a synonym. cygnis insignis 07:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
