Australia
, on
3 April 1912
, by
S.A. White
(no. 675).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 13094) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range of
samueli
as ‘‘
South Australia
.’’ The type bears White’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Its locality must be close to the Barossa Range (
Kaiser Stuhl-Pewsey Vale
highlands) section of the
central Mount Lofty Range
(
R. Schodde
, personal commun.). Other
South Australian
specimens in Mathews’ hand at that time are
paratypes
.
