Habitat. 



This species is apparently confined to a few localities in New South Wales. 

 It is found on the north shore of Port Jackson, ]\liddle Harbour, especially at 

 Mosman, and on the sandstone ridges surrounding the Spit. It is also found 

 in the Illawarra District, and on the Blue Mountains, as well as the Curricudgery 

 Ranges. It has been announced as also occurring at the following places in this 

 State : — Berrima, Blackheath, National Park, Eden, King's Tableland, Mount 

 Wilson, Nowra, Rylstone, St. Albans, Wentworth Falls, and Woy Woy. 



I. HISTORICAL. 



There is a specimen of Eraser's in the Kew Herbaiium labelled fiom 

 Moreton Bay, Queensland. 



The original specimen of F. fruticosa of Cunningham, mentioned by^Bentham, 

 Flora Aus. vi, p. 237, we could not trace, but both at Kew and the British 

 Museum there are specimens of this species, named by Cunningham as F. attemiata. 

 These apparently were overlooked by Bentham when compiling his classical work.
