• Lectotype: "In selecting lectotypes, ... In the case of A. sericeus, the 'spikes 3–6' and 'sheaths smooth' apply better to the Paterson River specimens than to the Keppel Bay specimens described in the MS as having 'spikes 4–7' and 'sheaths villosiusculous', the hairs on the sheaths arising from very small tubercles. The Paterson River specimen should be selected as lectotype."
