The botanical regions adopted here are used as botanical divisions by the National Herbarium of Victoria.
The botanical region characters should be used carefully. If a specimen comes from near the boundary between two or more regions, select several regions to allow for range extensions or geographic imprecision.
Distribution data for this character were derived from the Flora of Victoria, vol 3 (1996), and from the Australian National Herbarium specimen database.
