Atlas_checklist note
See Rindi et al. (1999) for recent records of this species from the west of Ireland, mainly in an urban situation. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry

Irish note
A number of recent records from Ireland are listed in Morton (1994). Records in Rindi & Guiry (1999) are from Galway, Cork and Dublin where plants occur in urban habitats. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry

Distributional note
Heesch et al. (2012: 225) could not confirm the presence of this species in New Zealand and note that since in their study only specimens from southeastern South Island and Chatham Islands were included, it is not clear whether other populations outside their sampling range may contain R. polyrhiza, or whether all earlier collections of R. australis have been misidentified. - (23 April 2012) - G.M. Guiry
