Davey, Milligan, Herb. Gunn, 1207! Franklin Co.: high heathy 
lains between the Gordon and Franklin Rivers, near Macquarie 
arbour, Gunn, 1208! 
The plant: seems generally to be a small or even dwarf shrub, 
but on Mt. La Pérouse it grows, according to F. v. Mueller, 
6-11 m. high, 
_ The specimens from Macquarie Harbour differ from the rest 
in so far as the bracts are more or less silky pubescent on the back. 
The locality being rather distant from the principal area, this 
pubescence may indicate the presence of a local variety which 
at present cannot be defined more exactly.
