• Lectotype: "(K)? There are two sheets at K, both labelled apparently by Mueller, one as S. sericophylla and the other as S. oldfieldii var. sericophylla. Both are also annotated by Bentham. One only, however, is clearly labelled "Murchison River". It is this specimen which is selected as the lectotype." More than one collection relates to the protologue.
