• APC Comment: Recorded as presumably naturalised in 'New Queensland Herbarium Records' (Department of Primary Industries Botany Branch and Queensland Herbarium Annual Report 26 (1983)). However, the Queensland specimens represent cultivated or deliberately introduced material and the taxon is not considered to be naturalised in Australia (B.K.Simon, pers. comm.).
