Lectotypus (designated here): AUSTRALIA. Queensland: Yungaburra, 24.XII.1939, Flecker s.n. ( BRI [ BRI- AQ0317424 ] image seen; isolecto-: CNS [QRS14066] image seen) . Syntypus: AUSTRALIA. Queensland: Atherton, Cook Pastoral District , XI-XII, A.L. Merrotsy s.n. ( BRI [ BRI-AQ0318037 ] image seen) .

Notes. – This species is endemic to northeastern Australia ( GOVAERTS et al., 2015). Two syntypes were cited in the protologue. The Flecker collection is preferred over the Merrotsy collection as the type because it is in a better state of conservation. The duplicate of this collection at BRI [BRI- AQ0317424 ] is designated as the lectotype because it has more buds and flowers, and is generally in a better state of conservation.
