Notes
This extension of the range of a Queens-land species is based on five collections made by CARR in 1935-1936 and two collections by SCHODDE & CRAVEN in 1966. While some collections match Queensland specimens closely, others differ in the greater extent of the pubescence on the lower leaf surface.
