- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 1000049 was collected by J.B. Cleland on 10th June 1924 in Ashbourne, South Australia, AUSTRALIA (approx. 35.2977°S, 138.7549°E, altitude approximately 125 m above sea level - Google maps). No ectomycorrhizal plants were recorded.
The surrounding habitat was described as not recorded with a substrate of sandy soil.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Murray-Darling woodlands and mallee WWF ecoregion The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have divided the world into 867 terrestrial ecoregions. The ecoregion here is estimated by mapping from the GPS coordinates of the collection using data made available by Dinerstein et al (2017).
