Note text

this species is named to commemorate both W. T. L. Travers and H. H. Travers. Therefore, according to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature Article 60.11 and Recommendation 60C (McNeill et al. 2006), it is appropriate to correct the termination of the specific epithet to traversiorum.
