(2.) Variety Sophorcc, F. Muell. PI. Viet, ii, 30. 
Phyllodia obovate-oblong, very obtuse, coriaceous, about 2, or rarely ."> inches long, i to 1 inch 
broad, smaller veins reticulate. Calyx rather larger than in the other varieties. Pod usually much 
curved and thick, either slender and narrow, or 3 to 4 lines broad, and very thick. Alimosa Soplwrae 
Labill PI. Nov. Holl. ii, 87, t. 1>37 ; A. Sopliorae ll.Br. in Ait. Hort. Kew. ed. 3, v, 462 ; DC. Prod, ii, 
454; Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 1351; Hook. f. Fl. Tasm. i, 110. Often abundant, chiefly on the sea coast, 
Moreton Bay, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia. 
The above is as denned in B.F1 ii, 398. 
The type came from Tasmania, and was figured by Labillardiere at the place 
cited. Figures L, M of Plate 213, also from Tasmania, are perhaps rather less 
diagrammatic than Labillardiere's figure. 
Aboriginal Names. This form had two names given to it by the now 
extinct Tasmanian aborigines, viz., " Gur-we-er," our authority being Allan 
Cunningham, in Capt. P. P. King's " Narrative of a Survey of the Intertropical 
and Western Coasts of Australia," (1827), i, 162. The other name is " Boobialla '' 
or " Boobyalla," sec Appendix D of Backhouse's " Narrative of a Visit to the 
Australian Colonies '' (1843). 
The name Boobyalla has been applied in south-eastern New South Wales to 
Hyopornm acuminaliun. Whether the blacks applied this name to the plant, or 
whether it is a term of more or less general application to spreading coastal shrubs, 
I do not know.
