Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | field collection | ||
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis | ||
Collectors: | K. A. Kermack | Collection dates: | 1961-1962 |
Collection method comments: Thulborn claims this was collected over winter 1960-61 but Kermack indicates 1961-62. It is from the same locality as the holotype, but as it was collected some 40 years later and not from an established quarry, it is retained here as a distinct collection. |
