• Type: "The discoverer of this singular plant was the late Allan Cunningham, from whom we received upwards of forty years ago a portion of a frond, collected at the Endeavour river (lat. 15°S.) in 1819 ... Nothing, however, was known further of it till Mr. Walter Hill ... rediscovered it in Rockingham Bay, and sent a young living plant ... to the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1863."
