Given the difficulties associated with interpreting the Preiss material at MEL, the fragmentary nature of the duplicates at LD and, indeed, the generally poor quality of the material, I have made the pragmatic decision to lectotypify on the Drummond gathering despite its lack of precise locality. Based on our present day understanding of the species and

collecting trips (see

Herbarium, is interpreted as a likely duplicate given that there is an original label with the collector and number (although a photocopy of the
