• Type: "... native of New South Wales, near Port Jackson ... This plant was first raised at the Hammersmith Nursery from seeds received ... in 1791."

common name: Rusty Woolly-blossom [n/a]

• Text: "For the Generic and Specific titles of this plant we are indebted to Dr. Smith, P. L. S. &c. ..."
• Comment: Stafleu & Cowan, Tax. Lit. ed. 2, 1 (1976) 51 give the author as "probably ... John Kennedy", but as there is no such indication in the work itself, Andrews has been accepted here as the author. Andrews ascribed the species name to Smith but there is no indication that Smith also provided the accompanying description (ICN Art. 46.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
