Taxonomic notes
There has been confusion over the correct spelling of the species epithet, with up to 15% of sources worldwide using the (presumably incorrect) spelling P. tribacoides (GBIF 2023). This spelling was used by Galloway (2007) and de Lange et al. (2018), but we have adopted the more widely accepted spelling here.
