  • Type: Australia: Northern Territory. East Alligator, 10 June 1971, G.C.Taylor 75 (holo: BRI; iso: CANB, DNA).

  • Etymology: "From the Greek trichos meaning hair or thread, and lobus meaning lobes. This is in reference to the consipicuous unicellular hairs consistently borne on the corolla lobes of the hermaphrodite floret. Other species have this feature, but in the species the trichomes are consistently present and obvious."
