(These articles are 'Some Botanical features of the District between Cockatoo Creek and Alice Springs, Central Australia', Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, Vol.56, 1932, pp. 36-8 and 'The Ecology of the Aborigines of Central Australia; Botanical Notes', Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, Vol.57, 1933, pp. 113-34, respectively.)

Based on published literature sources, but Tindale has also drawn from his manuscript materials.
