Note.

1) Schot (1994: 25) chose a specimen at K collected at Richmond River, NSW by Charles Moore, K000880988 as the type, but this was not cited in the protologue nor was it from the type locality and is therefore not original material. Another specimen K000880989 collected by Mueller and Hill from "Upper Brisbane River" was also collected from a location not cited in the protologue. We have chosen MEL2144485 collected by Mueller and Hill from the Pine River near Moreton Bay as cited in the protologue as lectotype.

2) Wisteria involuta Sprague ( Sprague 1904: 141) was described from cultivated material at K. The material was collected from the Richmond River area of NSW, Australia, collector unknown. Sprague (1905: 3) recombined the species as Derris involuta (Sprague) Sprague the following year having seen the flat, one-seeded, winged fruits of the millettioid genus Derris Lour.
