D’ Arcy (in Ann. Miss. Bot. Gard. 60: 607. 1974) states the type as: Hort. Cliff. (BM, not seen) and has been followed by Symon (in J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 3:140. 1981). According to Jarvis (BM), there is no specimen in the Clifford Herbarium, and the only extant syntype appears to be 258/1 at LINN.
