The tree was collected in the same district by Messrs. W. Baeuerlen and 
R. A. Campbell. It is more or less plentiful in the scrubs bordering the railway 
line between Lismore and Byron Bay and Murwillumbah, e.g., Billynudgel. 
The late Mr. E. Seccombe informed me that in 189L he found the trees 
comparatively common in the scrub bordering forests in the Parish of Jasper, 
22 miles north-easterly from Lismore. 
A week or so later, after his Jasper visit, he camped near Wilson's Creek 
crossing (not far from Jasper) and found many suckering stumps by the roadside. 
He added that while found in rich soil they are sometimes found in poor soil. 
Mr. A. H. Lawrence sent me the plant from Urunga, at the head of the 
Bellinger River ; this brings its range very much further to the south. 
Propagation. The nut is edible and the tree itself is singular in appear- 
ance, lending a pleasing variety to the garden. It will grow in the warmer coast 
districts if well sheltered, and its cultivation should be encouraged.
