• Lectotype: Pilger cited `Coolgardi pr. Bronti inter frutices in arenosis frequens atque insignis'. His specimen doubtless at B and presumably has been destroyed. At MEL there is a specimen (MEL 59967) from the Berlin Herbarium which is stated thereon to be part of the Type of S. nobilis Pilger and is annotated `W. Australia: Dist. Coolgardi; Bronti. Diels n. 5611' and this is here designated the Lectotype.
