Occurrence remarks [Most collections recorded on MELISR for W.O. Mansbridge are from 'Halls Creek, Arnhems Land'. Halls Creek in the Northern Territory cannot be found on any maps or gazetteers. A brief biographical note (from J.H. Willis) in the RBG Library gives Mansbridge's collecting locality as Halls Creek in Western Australia. It is possible that Mansbridge had an erroneous concept of what constituted 'Arnhems Land', or that 'Arnhems Land' 100 years ago was taken to refer to a larger area than it does today. Based on the above, this specimen has been taken to have been collected in WA. - Annot. J.E.Thomas, 4/4/2000.].
