Taxonomic notes: J. Black (1948) also refers to the yellow-flowered var. flaviflorum DC. but this record could not be confirmed. The third variety, var. tricolor (Bernh. ex Sprengel)Ledeb., which has red or orange petals with the darker basal spot outlined with a white margin, has not either been recorded from S.Aust., although it is difficult to distinguish herbarium material of it from the var. corniculata.
