Burnett District: Eidsvold, Dr. T. L. Bancroft (type) ; Gayndah, C. T. 
White (juvenile leaves only). Leichhardt District: Dawson River, Dr.

open green crown; trunk with occasional protuberances; bark grey to 
light grey with numerous transverse ridges, scaly below, smooth above 
except for fine longitudinal lines, unusually hard, green immediately 
beneath surface, then dark cream ; sapwood white ; leaves green to dark 
green; flowers white). North Kennedy District: Kinrara, alt. 1,900 ft., 
in closed forest, on basalt rock, S. T. Blake 14443 (fruits), 25-11-1941

This tree is common and widely spread in the mixed soft-wood 
(closed) forests (‘ 4 scrubs”) of the near coastal belt of Queensland. The 
specimens from Toowoomba (Darling Downs District) referred to by 
Radlkofer (Das Pflanzenreich IV. 165, Sapindaceae, p. 610 under 
A. salicifolia (DC.) Blume) probably belong here. It is a most unlikely 
locality record for this latter species, which is a native of Timor and 
North Austraila. 
In the past the present species has been confused with A. hemiglauea 
F. Muell. but is easily picked out both in the field and herbarium by 
its rather bright green leaves and more glabrous character. The two 
species can be distinguished as follows : — 
Leaves 2-5-jugate, glaucous green above, pale green beneath. Sepals 
tomentose. Petals tomentose. Ovary densely pubescent. Fruit 
tomentose . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A. hemiglauea . 
Leaves 1-2-jugate, green on both surfaces. Sepals glabrous. Petals 
pubescent or hirsute in the lower part, glabrous in the upper. 
Ovary pubescent on the angles, glabrous on the sides. Fruit 
glabrous . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A. virens.
