Comment:
Seigler & Ebinger cited "Acacia mellifera (Vahl) Benth." as an apparent basionym, but Bentham's name was explicitly based on Mimosa mellifera Vahl, therefore no correction of this erroneous citation is possible under Shenzhen ICN Art. 41.8(a) and the name was not validly published by them under Art. 41.6
