Here is proof of why this needs addition;

The bigger question is where to put these notes (see here for more)? They were issued in Salisbury or Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, but marked “Rhodesia(n) Issue”. Do we put them in Southern Rhodesia together with the coins they circulated alongside or in Rhodesia, remembering that Rhodesia currently refers to the state that existed between 1964 and 1979/80?

The Rhodesian banks' banknotes are listed under ‘Rhodesia’ in the Pick Specialised catalogue.

Government notes were issued for Southern Rhodesia, the British government's name for the colony which is is now Zimbabwe, and formerly Rhodesia (unrecognised) from 1965 - it says that the British government did not recoginse the ‘Republic of’ Rhodesia in: scwpm Specialised issues, Rhodesia, p935. 

banknote.ws blindly follows scwpm, which is not always accurate.

Imo, the ‘Rhodesia Issue’ notes of Bank of Africa, Barclay's, African Bank corp., Standard Bank of South Africa should be listed in numista under Southern Rhodesia (especially those payable in Salisbury), because it was the name of the country that the British monarchs were ruling authorities for.

Regardless of what else is printed on the notes, the place of payment is what is relevant to which country they are listed under, in this case, it is Salisbury, which was in Southern Rhodesia.

Pre-1911 Rhodesia was a region, then divided into several partitions.

These notes are inscribed ‘Rhodesian Issue’, which means they also circulated in Northern Rhodesia as well as in Southern Rhodesia.

Rhodesia from 1964 to 1980 was a British colony, not internationally recognised as either an independent Dominion from 1965 to 1970, or as an independent republic from 1970 to 1979.

The first Rhodesian notes were actually put out in Queen Victoria's reign - especially the Bulawayo notes dated 1900.

Yes, and they probably circulated further afield that than that also - nothing like a stable currency for payments.

However, the place of issue on the notes is Salisbury, which was in Southern Rhodesia; and Bulawayo, also in Southern Rhodesia. The ruling authorities, Victoria and Edward VII ought then be added to Southern Rhodesia to facilitate these note issues when someone creates a listing for one of the notes.

Southern Rhodesia was actually created in 1923.

Yep, it's complicated! All down to Cecil Rhodes' ambition for a railway line from Cape to Cairo.

Cecil Rhodes died in 1902, so his ‘Cape to Cairo’ pipedream died along with him.

He also died a very wealthy man - as he was one of the Randlords.
