Notes

• Occurrence of A. oleifolius var. canescens S.T.Reynolds in Victoria is represented by H.B. Williamson s.n. (Mildura, October 1928; deposited at BRI AQ0032051^(GBIF)).
• Reynolds (1985) cited R.A. Perry 919 (40 km N of Lake Nash Station; deposited at BRI AQ0032041^(GBIF)) for occurrence of A. oleifolius var. elongatus S.T.Reynolds in Northern Territory, but she later (1987: 337) stated it needs further collections to determine status of collections from Northern Territory.
