• Text: "The only Australian record is that of Cooke, Handb. Austr. Fungi, 1892, p. 381, based on Bailey 625, on fruit of Carica Papaya, Brisbane, Queensland, in Herb. Kew. ... this growth is entirely that of Alternaria tenuis, sensu Bolle; no other spores of any kind were found on the specimen. This Australian record should therefore be deleted."
