Your information is rather entirely incorrect.

Blanco s Flora Filipin. appeared as early as 1837 (!). Although
_N. burkei_ was described a bit earlier than you have assumed (Gard.
Chron. 3. ser. 6: 492, 1889!) this was still not early enough for
having been published first (v.s.).

Kind regards
Jan
