• Lectotype: "New South Wales. Interior of New Holland [Byrne’s Creek, E of Forbes, 33⁰ 27’S 148⁰ 19’E], 24 March 1836, T.L. Mitchell (lecto: CGE [here chosen, digital image at BRI!]; isolecto: K 000356788; K 000356789)."

• Text: "A specimen at K (K 000356788), collected from Lachlan River by T.L. Mitchell is so similar to the lectotype of Ptilotus parviflorus that it is here considered an isolectotype, despite the field label saying “Mitchell 23”; the label of the lectotype includes a number “24”, but this is not in Mitchell’s hand. K 000356789 is also very similar to the lectotype, and is likewise considered to be an isolectotype. Someone has written the year of collection as “1838”, but this must be a mistake as Mitchell was not involved with any exploration in that year."
