Habitat. " It was discovered in 1822, clothing rocky hills near Bathurst ; 
and was subsequently observed occupying arid spots in the country lying north-west

It is exclusively a New South Wales species so far as we know at present, 
for I believe the statement of Bentham that var. humilis is found as far north as 
Brisbane is founded on a mistake. 
In New South Wales it is found from south to north of the State, chiefly in 
the table-lands and mountain ranges, being found west as far as Orange and the 
Warrumbungles. 
Individual localities have already been given, and need not be repeated.
