Basso Point, common bushes to above 900 ft. (no. 1929) ; 

 Wreck Bay, common bushes to 700 ft. The leaves are much 

 larger on the specimens taken at 700 ft. than on the specimens 

 from near the shore. Duncan Isl. : occasional procumbent 

 bushes at 1000 ft. Bushes small and with leaves reduced in 

 size. Gardner Isl. (near Hood Isl.): common bushes.

 bushes all over the island, (no. 1927). Indefatigable Isl.: 

 Academy Bay, common bushes near the shore, small trees 

 around 450 ft.; north side, common on sand beaches. The 

 roots of many of these bushes are in contact with the sea water 

 at high tide, and when found under such conditions the trunks 

 are usually short and much twisted, while the leaves are more 

 succulent than on specimens taken further away from the shore. 

 James Isl. : James Bay, common in sandy soil around salt 

 lagoons, sometimes forming trees 25-30 ft. in height ; northeast 

 side, common bushes on sand beaches and around salt lagoons.

 bushes around 1050 ft. Narborough Isl. : Snodgrass and 

 Heller. Seymour Isl., south : abundant in thickets with 

 Discaria pauciiiora in sandy soil near the shore. Endemic.
