  • Text: "Dr. 65." [i.e. D.Dietrich, Syn. Pl. 1: 529, sp. no. 65 (1839)]
  • Comment: A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 1464 (1991), lists "Grevillea aquifolia Steudel... nom. illeg. non Lindley (1838)". However, Steudel (1840) explicitly cites "Grevillea aquifolia. Cunningh.". This is here considered to be a secondary reference by Steudel to G. aquifolium Lindl., rather than an attempt to publish a new name.

  • APC Comment: Most authors have adopted the orthography Grevillea aquifolium, following Lindley's original spelling. A.D.Chapman, APNI 1464 (1991) considered this to be an orthographic error to be corrected, and adopted the spelling Grevillea aquifolia. Alternatively it can be argued that the epithet is a noun in apposition, comparing this plant with the genus Aquifolium, a view accepted here, and the correct orthography is Grevillea aquifolium.
