• Comment: Bentham attributes the name to "Less. in Steud. Nom. Bot. ed. 2" [i.e. E.G.Steudel, Nomencl. Bot. 1: 739 (1840); 2: 245 (1841)]. However, Steudel gives the name only in synonymy of Ozothamnus ferrugineus (Labill.) Sweet.
• Comment: The name "Helichrysum ferrugineum (Labill.) Benth. var. ferrugineum" is listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1554 (1991), but this autonym does not exist, in accordance with ICN Art. 27.2 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
