• Type: "No reference given or material cited for the variety obovatus; however the reference 'Smith in Rees' is given for the species, and the description is a translation of that given by de Candolle for E. buxifolius var. α. This is itself based on the description given by Smith, l.c., for the variety in which 'the leaves are obovate, narrow at the base, bluntly crenate and glandular at the edges'. It was collected by Dr. White near Port Jackson and can be considered the type."
