• Text: "Although recorded as occurring in Vic. by A.J.Ewart (Victorian Naturalist 24: 191, 1908) this was based on a single collection by C.Walter from "Goulburn" (presumably Goulburn R.) in 1900. A small population of B. sylvaticum was also discovered in 2000 in the Hastings area of Vic. but the taxon is not currently considered to be naturalised in Australia."
