Ξ Hodgkinsonia frutescens C.T. White in Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensland 53: 220. 1942 .

Lectotypus (designated here): AUSTRALIA. Queensland: Yungaburra, 24.XII.1939, Flecker s.n. (BRI [BRI- AQ0317424] image seen; isolecto-: CNS [QRS14066] image seen) . Syntypus: AUSTRALIA. Queensland: Atherton, Cook Pastoral District, XI-XII, A.L. Merrotsy s.n. (BRI [BRI-AQ0318037] image seen) .

Notes. – This species is endemic to northeastern Australia (GOVAERTS et al., 2015). Two syntypes were cited in the protologue. The Flecker collection is preferred over the Merrotsy collection as the type because it is in a better state of conservation. The duplicate of this collection at BRI [BRI- AQ0317424] is designated as the lectotype because it has more buds and flowers, and is generally in a better state of conservation.
