F. halensis was described based on fossilised pollen from sediments in the Hale Basin of central Australia, dated to the middle-late Eocene ({{Period span/brief|Middle Eocene|Late Eocene}}).Truswell, E.M. & N.G. Marchant 1986. Early Tertiary pollen of probable Droseracean affinity from central Australia. Spec. Pap.—Palaeontol. 35: 163-178. F. krutschei was discovered in Saxony, Germany.
