This is interesting for two reasons, first on account of the complicated synonymy, 

 and second because of the identification of var. elata with his own acervvla, which indeed 

 is correct. 



The synonymy will be understood from what has gone before. 



RANGE. 



It occurs in four States, Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, and New South 

 Wales. It prefers cold, damp, undrainecl land, and will nourish in stagnant water, or 

 in lands liable to be submerged for part of the year. Following the cold, it ascends to 

 considerable elevations. In Tasmania it is diffused over the greater part of the island. 

 In Victoria it is abundant along the southern and eastern districts, and ascends to central 

 elevated localities. In South Australia it occurs in the Mount Lofty Range and about 

 Mount Gambier. In New South Wales it occurs in the South Coast district and Southern 

 Tableland at least as far north as Hill Top, and as far west as the highest parts of the 

 Blue Mountains.
