This should be C.robertsonii right?? Or have I got the two names confused again? (I can't remember what the distribution under the Jones treatment is). Either way I think we should revert to C.robertsonii. I'll send and email.

Yeah. I believe C. platychilus is supposedly restricted to the Canberra region, and is probably the same thing as C. robertsonii.
