As regards var. mucrtmata F.v.M. and var. dissitiflora Benth-. as adopted in 
B.F1. ii. 399, I think Rodway's view is probably the correct one, to maintain mucronata 
as a species, and to merge dissitiflora in it. Transitional forms are abundant, and a 
mucrone is frequently absent. 
A. mucronata as thus understood, also occurs in Flinders Island and also in 
Victoria. As regards New South Wales, it has been found on Delegate Hill, near 
Bombala (W. Baeuerlen), and a form certainly close to it in a very different locality, 
viz., Ettalong Beach, Newcastle (A. Murphy).
