Notes
taxonomic status
In Connor & Edgar (1987): "A.P. Druce (hic comm.): "The use of C. australis as in Allan [1961] is incorrect because the type of C. australis (A. Rich.) Robinson, based on Ronabea australis A. Rich. at P!, matches C. lucida Forst. et Forst. f. The next available name for the plants known here as C. australis is C. grandiflora Hook. f.""
