HD 89358 is in the wrong place

According to the below snippet, HD 89358 should be IVO NGC 3199, however the star is thousands of light years away from the nebula.

NGC 3199 - Hanging out some 11 736 light years away in the southern constellation of Carina, NGC 3199 is classed as a diffuse nebula embedded with a Wolf-Rayet star. Near the center of the ring is a Wolf-Rayet star, a massive, hot, short-lived star that generates an intense stellar wind. The nebula is about 75 light-years across. The Wolf-Rayet nebula NGC 3199 has a highly asymmetric morphology, with a very bright hemisphere near the exciting star HD 89358 and a much fainter and more extended other hemisphere. This nebula is modeled in terms of the distorted bubble produced by a moving star blowing a strong stellar wind into a surrounding uniform interstellar medium. This model is fitted to the morphology and observed kinematic data. The exciting star appears to be moving at about 60 km/s into local interstellar gas of density of about 10/cu cm, and has a mass-loss rate of about 0.000027 solar mass/yr. This latter mass-loss rate is in excellent agreement with observed mass-loss rates from Wolf-Rayet stars.
