• Lectotype: "near the junction of the Steep Bank R. and the Glenelg R. in south-western Vic., 1836, [T.L.]Mitchell 262; lecto (here chosen): K n.v.; isolecto: MEL."

• Text: Bentham based A. ovoidea on two specimens: V. Diemen's Land [Tas.], Gunn, n. 676 and S.E. Australia, Mitchell. Mitchell's specimen (n. 262) was collected near the junction of the 'Steep Bank R.' and the 'Glenelg R. north of Casterton' in south-western Vic. These specimens are syntypes. Mitchell's specimen in K is here chosen as the lectotype and a duplicate in MEL is designated as an isolectotype. There are two syntypes in NSW both numbered Gunn 676 and collected in Tas. One of them was collected at 'Circular Head' on 27 Oct. 1843 and the other at 'George Town' on 27 Oct. 1843."
