• APC Dist.: WA

• Text: "The holotype of this name is a sheet at W labelled King George Sound with the annotation by Schauer: "[Diesing msc.] Nomen recepi, sed haec species a DC. quantum scionusquam est descripta", ie. "[Diesing in manuscript] I received the name but as far as I know this species has nowhere been described by Candolle". The locality appears to be an error, since the type represents the variant that occurs from Esperance to Cape Arid. The collector is unknown but may have been Robert Brown. Franz Sieber, after whom the species is named, did not visit south-western Australia."
