  • APC Comment: The complex nomenclature of this species was discussed by Court (1957, 1972) and Pedley (1980). A. brownii is sometimes treated as a variety of A. ulicifolia, and the two sometimes form hybrids (Maslin, 2001). Intergradation between A. asparagoides, A. brownii, A.echinula and A. ulicifolia is reported from central eastern NSW, and hybrids may occur (Tame, 1992; Maslin, 2001). Hall & Johnson (1993) argued that the correct orthography was A. brownii, rather than A. brownei.
