Synonymy Glasby & Hocknull (2010) treat H. americana as a new combination valid name of Loandalia americana without comment, although pointing out the latter was placed into junior synonymy with H. fauveli according to Pettibone (1966). It was Emerson & Fauchald (1971: 19) who had indirectly re-validated Loandalia americana as Parandalia americana [details]
