 Cobar generally. April. 

 Lrpidium i,kpt()Petalum F.v.M. Getting very common about 

 Cobar, especially on sandy flats. It is not relished by 

 stock, hence it is overrunning good ground. April.

 so frequent in the eastern part of the district. Summer.

 extremely pungent. Rabbits are very partial to the 

 bark and wood. I have seen 10-foot shrubs of this 

 species gnawed right through the stems by i-abbits.

 strange, leafless appearance. "Warrior Bush." The 

 female bush is smaller and weaker. The young shoots 

 only are nibbled by stock. I am trying this wood as a 

 substitute for Holly. October-November.
