• Text: "This species is recorded for Victoria by A.J.Ewart (Vict. Naturalist 24: 191, 1908), based on a collection of C.Walter from Goulburn in 1904, however, no specimen has been found in MEL, and the record must be considered doubtful. Other collections of C.Walter are of cultivated plants and there is no evidence that this species has ever been naturalised in Australia."
