Size. It is a Mallee, but it may attain the dignity of a small or medium-sized 
tree, rarely, however, attaining a height of 25 to 30 feet. 
Habitat. The co-types come from South Australia, and, as was often the 
case in the old days, the pernicious method of giving more than one locality for the 
type (e.g., Marble Bange and the Murray Scrub in the present case) was followed. 
It is a dry country species, occurring sparsely in Western and South Australia 
(both States of comparatively low rainfall), in Victoria near the Murray, and in the 
western or drier portion of our own State. In Queensland it has recently (Proc. Roy. 
Sac. N.S.W., xlvii, 1913) been recorded for the Jericho district. It is a species that 
should be further searched for. 
I have it from the following New South Wales localities : Abbott's Tank, near 
Balranald (C. J. McMaster) ; Lower Lachlan River, two specimens, respectively labelled 
"Smooth-barked tree," "Rough-barked tree" (correspondents of H. Deane); 
Condobolin (R. H. Cambage) ; Wyalong (H. Deane, J. G. Postlethwaite) ; Coolabah 
and Girilambone, with moderately narrow juvenile leaves (R. W. Peacock, J. L. 
Boorman, J.H.M.); Cobar (Rev. Dr. Woolls, R. H. Cambage, L. Abrahams, J. L. 
Boorman) ; Wittagoona, near Cobar (L. Abrahams) ; Nymagee (Dr. J. Wharton Cox, 
J. L. Boorman) ; Mount Boppy (J. L. Boormau). 
I shall be glad to receive specimens from other localities.
