Correspondent inferred; MS acquired by the Castlemaine Art Gallery & Museum as part of a collection of Brotherton correspondence.
Brotherton did not use a single sequence of collecting numbers. However, taking account of modern synonyms, the five numbered specimens that can be linked to surviving specimens are all dated 1895, and the list is dated accordingly. The others are apparently not retained at MEL.
