NOTES

Wang Zongxun et al. (p 211) appear to be unclear about what species is Australian or can be called as such. Further checkings need to be made about the origin of some species (which is from New Zealand, Australia etc.). Which species can be best described as having sword leaves ? What is the synonymy for C. congesta ?
