Habitat io. Australia, New South Wales, Sydney (Balls Head 

 Bay, Mossman's Bay, Hurstville), Sept. et Oct. 1884: Whitelegge 

 in Hb. Melbourne (1885); Cambewarra, Dec. 1885 cum fructibus 

 supramaturis fuscatis: idem in Hb. Brotherl, qui 1892 misit. 



Br. ischyrorhodon quoad foliorum formam simile robustitate 

 partium omnium et folia multo majora longiora certe diffcrt. 



var. foliis magis oblique pungentibus atque theca magis obUquc

 Fr. Reader, mis. 1892 ex Dimboola; Murrumbcera prope Melbourne, 

 Aug. 1886: idem. 



An species propria? Capsulam hnmaturam solum scrutavi, forsan 

 peristomium internum caracteres proprios declarabit.
