(Bio) From the collection of Dr. William Halse Rivers Rivers. Catalogue card notes New Georgia, Munda, but also notes "Lauru", an earlier name for Choiseul- it is possible the material was collected in New Georgia, but made in and/or traded from Choiseul, or was acquired on trips to both islands, and not properly documented. R.Hand 8/4/2009.
