Taxonomic notes: Whether or not this species is conspecific with the more widespread L. carolinianum L. has not been determined, and some Australian authors use this latter name. Almost extinct in S.Aust. and known only from the vicinity of Mt Compass, where it grows on continuously wet peaty soils.
