C. GRACILIS R. T. Baker. This "find" is interesting in 

 view of the fact, that the species has been found 

 before only in the Pilliga scrub. It was described 

 by Mr. Baker in These Proceedings for 1903. This 

 specimen, I found growing to a height of 25 feet, on 

 rather damp, flat soil a few miles from Cobar. It is 

 associated with some Casuarinas, and Hakea vitfufn.
