  • Lectotype: "not cited; lecto (here chosen): loc. cit. t. 67 [i.e. J.Lindley, Edwards' Bot. Reg. 32: t. 67 (1846)]."
  • Text: "The type was not cited but a reference was made to a specimen of unknown provenance from New Holland [Australia] and forwarded to the Gardener's Chronicle by an anonymous collector. Advice from B.R.Maslin (pers. comm.) indicates that no specimen referable to the protologue of this name has been preserved in Lindley's herbarium at Cambridge and none has been located elsewhere. Accordingly, the plate in Edwards' Botanical Register is here chosen as lectotype."
