The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature.

Text: "It should be noted that the collector of the type specimen used their collecting number 250 on two different dated occasions. Both collections probably originate from the same individual tree; however, the 17 October 1997 dated collection is clearly indicated above as being the specimen used as the type for this species."
