The identity of the New South Wales and Victorian specimens with 

 those from the type locality in Tropical Queensland is a subject which

A spreading shrub of 2-3 ft. in height, the young shoots 

 and inflorescence pubescent with minute, white, appressed 

 hairs. Branchlets often hexagonal ; three alternate surfaces 

 of each internode transver~ely striate or wrinkled ; in adjoining 

 intemodes the order is reversed and the surface, which is 

 plane in the internode above and below, is marked by the 

 transverse wrinkles. The insertions of the leaves and branchlets 

 are generally subtended by a wrinkled surface. Leaves in whorls
