There are two locations called Lake Bonney in SA; this one probably in the SE, to the west of Mt Gambier, from where M's sister Clara Wehl and her children collected many specimens, including fungi; some paintings by Marie Wehl were sent to Cooke (Dowe, May, Maroske & Smith (2020)). See also notes to G. Massee to M, 7 May 1888 (in this edition as 88-05-07b). Note, however, that AVH (accessed 26 May 2020) lists five fungus specimens at MEL collected around the more northern Lake Bonney, near Barmera, by 'Miss Wehl'.
