Bustard Bay, Thirsty Sound; Banks’s specimens are not cited by Bentham. 
The accompanying plate bears: little resemblance to the figures of this species in 
Andrews’ Botanists’ Repository or in the Botanical Magazine (t. 1365), and Sims (Le.) 
refers to our figure as “ undoubtedly a new species.” Bentham, however, calls attention 
to the extreme variability of the plant, and the large series of specimens collected by 
Brown includes examples fairly representing each of the figures.
