The list is one of a number sent by Cooke that are now in the library of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. See notes to M. Cooke to M, 17 January 1885, for a discussion of Cooke's author attributions. The item is a folded folio, giving four pages.

Unless otherwise noted, all entries with an identifying number or letter have an ink ✓ to the left of the numeral or letter. Most have pencil marks adjacent to the left of the entry. Absence of such marks has not been noted: they differ in form and it is not clear whether or not all were made by the same person.

The bottom right of the first sheet has been annotated by J. H. Willis: '20 November 1882'.
