basionym: Anguillaria dioica R.Br. legitimate nomenclatural synonym: Anguillaria australis F.Muell. nom. illeg., nom. superfl.
  • Comment: Reference to basionym indirect, via Mueller's indication that Anguillaria australis F.Muell. (itself a superfluous replacement name for Anguillaria dioica R.Br.) should now be placed in the genus Wurmbea under the name W. dioica.
