• Text: "Bentham cited Miquel (in Ned. Kruidk. Arch. IV (1859) 138) as authority for the species., Miquel (l.c.), however, cited DC. Prodr. III (1828) 219, n. 30, as well as giving E. dealbata A.Cunn. ex Schau. as a doubtful synonym. He gave no description but cited two specimens of Mueller's (one, Broker River, mis-cited as "Booker" River). There is no E. albens DC. but the reference cited clearly applies to E. pallens DC. .......E.albens Miq. is clearly a mistake for E. pallens DC. and must be taken as a misapplication of that name to Mueller's material. The binomial E. albens is thus not validly published by Miquel."
