Bentham, G. (30 May 1863), Flora Australiensis 1: 489 [tax. nov.]

• Type: "Queensland (?) Leichhardt."

• Text: "Evidently closely allied to the S. African R. tomentosa, Linn. The leaves appear to be less coriaceous, but otherwise the fragmentary specimens are insufficient to give diagnostic characters. Can it be the species imported?"

Jessup, L.W. in George, A.S. (ed.) (25 December 1985), Anacardiaceae. Flora of Australia 25: 185 [secondary reference]

• Text: "This is R. tomentosa L. from southern Africa. Doubtfully recorded for Australia by Bentham. No subsequent collections from Australia are known."

Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (31 July 2018), Australian Plant Census: - APC [secondary reference]

• APC Comment: An African species, now referred to Rhus tomentosa L., doubtfully recorded by G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 1: 489 (1863), but not known to occur in Australia.
