Notes
It was already pointed out by S. T. BLAKE, l.c., that the Australian F. cyperoides R.BR, and the Asian F. cinnamometorum are not specifically distinct.
From the type collection (KAMPHOEVENER 2485 from Teressa I. in KIEL) and BOECKELER'S accurate description it is evident that CLARKE wrongly referred F. kamphoeveneri BOECK. to the synonymy of F.fusca (NEES) CLARKE.
