• Lectotype: "At AD there is a sheet from Cleland's herbarium labelled `Lyndoch 8.10.27' in J.B. Cleland's handwriting, and the initials "J. M. B." (associated with an upublished epithet) in Black's handwriting; Black has not written the epithet `breviglumis' on it, but it is evident that he saw and examined it. The sheet bears a satisfactory specimen and we designate it as the Lectotype."
