  • Type: "Nordwest-Queensland: dürre Hügel bei Cloncurry (Domin II. 1910)."
  • Comment: Domin cites "n. sp." after this name and does not list any synonymy. He mentions in a note similarities between this species and some specimens of Ptilotus spicatus var. leianthus Benth. but also notes differing characters. This is thus interpreted here as the publication of a new species name by Domin rather than a new combination based on Ptilotus spicatus var. leianthus Benth.
