  • Type: "On rocks ; rivulet behind Cumming's Head, Western Mountains, Archer."
  • Comment: The name is attributed to "Mitten, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ined." but W.Mitten's paper in the Journal was not published until September 1859. Since the description given is a verbatim quote from Mitten's draft, the name and description are both here accepted as having been simultaneously ascribed to Mitten (ICN Art. 46.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
