Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.
Type:"No reference given or material cited for the variety obovatus; however the reference 'Smith in Rees' is given for the species, and the description is a translation of that given by de Candolle for E. buxifolius var. α. This is itself based on the description given by Smith, l.c., for the variety in which 'the leaves are obovate, narrow at the base, bluntly crenate and glandular at the edges'. It was collected by Dr. White near Port Jackson and can be considered the type."
