• Type: "Waterfall Creek, Nowra, N.S.W., (W. Bäuerlen, November, 1888); about midway between Como and Sutherland, near Sydney, (J.H.Camfield, May, 1897)."

• Etymology: "Though recently ascertained to have been first found nine years ago by Mr. Bäuerlen, whose name is already well represented in the Flora of N. S. Wales, we name the plant in honour of Mr. Camfield, overseer of the Garden Palace grounds, its discoverer in the Port Jackson district, in recognition of the zeal and ability displayed by him in recent years as botanical collector and observer."
