Hooker (quoting Heward) says that Cunningham found this plant on the 
hanks of the Brisbane River in 1828, but he did not name it, as he saw it in leaf 
only. On this occasion he described a number of novelties, and tradition points to 
a number of trees in the Botanic Garden, Sydney, which Cunningham brought 
down on that trip. It is possible, indeed probable, that two of the largest trees 
of Stenocarpus sinuatus in the Botanic Garden form part of this collection. He 
sent two young plants to Kew at the same time. 
In New South Wales it occurs as far south as the Bellinger River, where 
I have received it from Mr, E. H. F. Swain, from Marx Hill, and also from Mr. 
G. S. Briner, M.L.A., from a gully. This is the most southerly locality known to 
me, but it doubtless occurs in the brushes further south. 
In Queensland Mr. J. F. Bailey found it on the Barron River, and it is 
plentiful around Atherton, in the Cairns district. 
Propagation. By seed. The chief use of the tree is for ornament, and a 
very dignified use too. It will grow well about Sydney and in coast districts con- 
, siderably south of the metropolis, provided the situation is sheltered. It grows into 
a small tree, not too big for moderate-sized gardens. Its foliage is handsome, while its 
flowers are as gorgeous as they are remarkable, the prevailing colours being coral-red 
and orange. The trees like deep, well-drained soil. 
I strongly recommend it to those who desire to cultivate our choicest native 
trees.
