The fragment is undated but the dated specimens carrying these numbers and matching these names or their synonyms that are listed in AVH (accessed 6 January 2020) are dated as 1880. There are some undated specimens with numbers from this list, and all but one (number 120) match the name, or its synonym, given here. A few other specimens with the collecting numbers shown are given for other dates in the 1880s, but these do not match either the names here or their taxonomic synonyms. The translation is included within the text in square brackets. Numbers 89, 108, 109, 110, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 122, 125, 126, 128, 129, 134, 135, 136, 137, 139, 140, 142, 143, 144 are each marked with a cross.

M listed this species and mentioned Holtze's finding it near Port Darwin in B81.08.03, pp. 124-5. Hence the date of this list cannot be later than August 1881; it is unlikely to be earlier than November 1880, when the preceding number of the Fragmenta was issued.
