  • Comment: Domin described O. capitis-yorkii from a single leaf and drupe without its endocarp. He compared it with O. acidula F.Muell. and O. vernicosa F.Muell., from which it appeared to differ in leaflet characters. With more collections of O. vernicosa, the scrappy type falls within the range exhibited by that species. According to the curators, there is no extant material at PR or PRC and the fact that Domin mentions specifically the scraps which match the Kew sheet suggests that the Hann specimen there (Hann specimens not known to be preserved elsewhere) is the basis for the description.
