Note: Locality info for the type collection given in protologue and in type citation by Grusz & Windham, Phytokeys 32: 55, 2013. They cite the holotype at PH, but TaxLit says herbarium of deposit for Buckley is unclear, and 2 apparent type specimens of this name at MO are from Buckley's own herbarium so this seems to need lectotypification.
