Notes:
- ⏰ According to Coenye et al. (1999), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Burkholderia vandii Urakami et al. 1994. Publication: Coenye T, Holmes B, Kersters K, Govan JR, Vandamme P. Burkholderia cocovenenans (van Damme et al. 1960) Gillis et al. 1995 and Burkholderia vandii Urakami et al. 1994 are junior synonyms of Burkholderia gladioli (Severini 1913) Yabuuchi et al. 1993 and Burkholderia plantarii (Azegami et al. 1987) Urakami et al. 1994, respectively. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1999; 49:37-42. 🇧🇪
- ❗ Pseudomonas plantarii is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Pseudomonas.
