NOTES:
  Australia. Var. scarabaeoides is the most widely distributed wild Cajanus. [274]
  Probably introduced over much of its range. [261]
  Verdcourt (1979) recognises a variety with no formal name. [261]
  Many intermedates of this variety exist. [261]
  This variety is often misidentified with Atylosia reticulata. [261]
  Verdcourt's variety occurs in PNG and Australia. [261]
