  • Comment: 'It would appear that C. angulata is more widespread than has been realized. In this connection Hill (1992, 1994, 1996) has recently proposed about a dozen new species and several subspecies for populations within the range of C. armstrongii and C. media that correspond closely to C. angulata. He relies on distinctions that tend to be unreliable, but are often selected for horticultiral purposes....For the time being we must place these species in synonymy pending further testing of their validity.' APNI note: this is a notoriously difficult family to revise. Some of Hill's species (highlighted by de Laubenfels in this article) ARE very difficult to distinguish both in herbarium specimens and in the field. Unfortunately it does seem that this species complex needs more work. The de Laubenfels revision probably overly applies a very wide species concept, while Hill's revisions may reflect a much narrower species complex than in current use in plant taxonomy / systematics both in Australia and overseas. This is the continuing taxonomic argument between 'lumpers and splitters' referred to by Hill and Osbourne (ix, 2001). Finding a consensus solution is not always possible.
