  • Text: "C.den Hartog (1970: 156), cited a specimen from Dongara, W.A., 1 Apr. 1931, collector unknown (UWA), as Halodule wrightii Asch., a species which occurs in the Caribbean as well as on the E coast of Africa and Madagascar. The specimen, and other similar material, resembles H. wrightii, but all the collections are sterile, so until suitable material is found for identification this species is not considered to occur in Australia."
