  • Lectotype: "here chosen, BM 000582951!; probable isolectotype BM 000582952!."
  • Text: "Although H. dentata and its derivative names have long been cited with authorship ‘R.Br. ex DC.’, we have found no evidence of Brown’s role in establishing this name. There is no indication on any original Brown labels that he suggested this name, so we have simplified the authority of this, as well as that of H. angustifolia and its derivatives, to de Candolle alone."
