  • Text: "I cannot see how Dr Domin's two subspecies, C. Shirleyana and C. queenslandica, can be distinguished from C. tenuifolia, Sw., which differs so very much from various localities."
  • Text: "...(as a subspecies)."
  • Comment: Bailey attributes this name to "Domin, Prodr. p. 140" but Domin's work [i.e. K.Domin, Biblioth. Bot. 20(85): 140 (1915)], of which Bailey may have had access to page proofs, was not published until 1915.
