Timber. This Wattle is always a shrub ; I have never seen it large enough 
to yield timber. 
Size. A shrub of 4 to 8 feet. 
Habitat. It will be observed that the type was collected by Allan 
Cunningham at Peel's Range. This was on Oxley's Expedition in the year 1817. 
At p. 66 of " Journal of two Expedition* into the Interior of New South Wales," 
by John Oxley (1820), Oxley, under date 15th June, 1817, says : " Mr. (Allan) 
Cunningham went upon Peel's Range in search of plants, and found a few new 
ones " 
As shown by Oxley, Peel's Range is almost due north and south, a little to 
the east of the 146th parallel of East longitude, and between 33 and 34 South 
latitude. It is the Cocopara Range, south of the Lachlan River, between Hillston 
and Lake Cudgel! ico. It must not be confused with Peel Range, east of the 
Liverpool Range, e.g., at Currabubula. 
The following specimen : " Shrub 4-5 feet high, Roto and Coan Downs 
Stations, Hillston North, County of Blaxland, Lachlan District, N.S.W. (J. Duff)," 
is practically from the type locality. 
The species is indigenous to somewhat dry regions in New South Wales 
(Lachlan and Darling districts), north-western Victoria, and the so-called Murray 
Desert area of South Australia. Its form argyrophylla has been found in the 
northern part of South Australia. 
Variety glaucophylla Benth. This form (which I do not look upon as a 
useful variety) has been also labelled A. undulifolia A. Cunn. var. dysophila Benth. 
by competent botanists, but I will" explain the differences between the two species 
when I describe and figure A. undulifolia in Part LIV.
