| Note in illustration: |
Illustration: M.Stones & W.M.Curtis, Endemic Fl. Tasmania 6: fig. 217 (1978) as L. oldfieldii subsp. oldfieldii. |
| Notes: |
The holotype of L. australasica is in very good agreement with that of L. oldfieldii. The former bears another label 'N. Holl.', which is an obvious mistake. A neotype selected by H.Nordenskiöld, Bot. Not. 122: 79 (1969) is superfluous and has no nomenclatural importance. |
