• Type: "Australia, N.S. Wales ad Picton (Baker!)."

• Etymology: (not specified.) [but presumably named for the collector of the type material, Richard Thomas Baker (1854–1941)]
• Comment: The specific epithet is here assumed to have been intended to honour R.T.Baker, and has thus been corrected from Gandoger's original spelling "bakersana" to bakeriana in accordance with ICN Art. 60.12 and Rec. 60C.1 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
