Taxonomy
The material from the Solomon Islands (at L) inserted by Corner in this species does not satisfactorily match the material from New Guinea, as being distinct in the more slender leafy twigs (3-5 mm thick), and the up to 1 cm long and caducous stipules. It has been transferred to F. gul (var. solomonensis), which makes the description (), as with regard to the presence of hairs on the flowers, more uniform for F. porphyrochaete.
