With its copious rigid branching and extremely small leaves, together 

 with the gland-bearing flowers, this is very distinct from any known 

 Australian species. In the absence of male flowers, however, the affinity 

 cannot be stated, but the neighbourhood of P. Mitchelli^ Benth, may be 

 suggested for its true position.
