• Type: "Unfortunately the native country of this very interesting discovery is not certainly known; Mr. Bull having received it from Sydney in a box that contained both Australian and Pacific Island plants. Considering how well known the former Flora now is (thanks especially to Baron Mueller's researches), and how little known are the Pacific Islands botanically, it is probable that this Philydrum comes from the latter."
