Nomenclatural note
G.Reid (2012: 99) says that two species were included in this genus by Grownow (1867: 19-20) and Ross (in ING) had selected T. reichardtianum as the type. However, the current on-line entry (March 2012) just has this latter as the type, not the lectotype. - (28 March 2012) - M.D. Guiry
