Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (1999/039) : B. tryoni has never occurred in Tasmania and is officially declared by the Australian NPPO to be absent from that state. An incorrect abstract of an article by Dadour et al. (1992) led to the inclusion of a record of presence in earlier versions of the database.
