NORFOLK ISLAND, Bauer, Isaac Robinson. 
QUEENSLAND : Port Maequarie (fide Bailey, l. c.). 
CULTIVATED : Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Temperate House). 
The species is not uncommon in Norfolk Island, where the dense tangles, 
formed largely by its tough stems, were a well-known obstacle to the early 
explorers. But fruit has rarely been found there. The description of the 
pod is taken from F. von Mueller’s in the ‘Journal of Botany’ (1885, 353). 
The seeds from which the plant grown at Kew was raised were contributed 
by that botanist many years before he received or described the pod from 
Norfolk Is., and were probably collected in Queensland when M. megasperma 
(which it resembles) was the only known Millettia in that country. This 
would account for its being sent to Kew and long cultivated there under 
that name.
