RANGE. 



It has been recorded from all the States except Tasmania and Queensland. 

 It is a dry-country species, and one does not expect it to be found in Tasmania, but 

 it is certainly worth looking for in Queensland — say at the extremist south-western 

 anp-le, near the New South Wales-South Australian border. 



"O 



a 



Western Australia. 



We know it from Fremantle, the York district, on the Great Southern 

 Railway {e.g., Tambellup), and many places near the south coast, on the eastern 

 gold-fields, and as far west as Tammin. Then we have a few localities connecting 

 with the Murchison. But it is obvious we have many connecting localities to find 

 yet, so that we cannot define its range. 



Following are some specific localities : — 



"Thin-leaved Mallee," Subiaco Beach, near Fremantle (Dr. J. B. Cleland) ; 

 erect bushy shrub, 5-8 feet high, rocky ground, limestone hills, 3 miles south of 

 Fremantle (W. V. Fitzgerald). 



The following specimens from southern localities have the pedicels absent or 

 very short : — ■ 



Shrub of 6-9 feet, Tambellup (Dr. L. Diels, No. 2,313). Kalgan Plains, in 

 bud, only a flower or two, also in fruit; narrow leaves; juvenile leaves glaucous; 

 a round-headed, many-stemmed shrub of a few feet, with red buds ; sometimes a 

 spindly, rather erect shrub (J.H.M.) ; Cape Biche (Dr. Diels, No. 3,464) ; Deeside, 

 Lake Muir, a coarse form, some leaves with a bluish-green cast (A. Muir) ; Israelite 

 Bay (Miss S. Brooke). 



Shrub of about 8 feet, Cut Hill, York, on ironstone (O. H. Sargent, Nos. 427 

 and 429).
