Size. It is a medium-sized and even large tree. When drawn up to the 
light in the struggle for existence which goes on in the brushes it may attain the height 
of 100 feet, with a stem diameter of 2 or 3 feet. 
Habitat. It is confined to New South Wales and Queensland, and to the 
brushes of the eastern portion, in many places at no great distance from the sea. 
The range extends from the Illawarra to Southern Queensland. It would be desirable 
to ascertain the most southern and most northern localities. Illustrative localities 
in the National Herbarium are as follows, and the reason why it is so seldom seen in 
herbaria is because flowering specimens, often near the top of the tree, are hard to get 
at, while they press very badly. 
Jamberoo (0. F. D. Cooper) ; Weston, Maitland District (V. C. Davis) ; Bonning- 
ton Park, Allynbrook (E. J. Laurie). 
The Cedar Brush, 10 miles from Silverwood, and 23 miles west of Scone (E. GL 
Eagar). 
I noticed it rarely from Bellingen to the foot of Dorrigo Mountain ; then, ascending 
the mountain, here and there it could be observed in the abyss of vegetation below. 
It is moderately plentiful on the Dorrigo. A very fine specimen was seen in the Glen- 
fernie Forest Reserve, near the pine-mill. It was not again seen going west. (J.H.M.) 
Acacia Creek, Macpherson Range (W. Dunn). 
Eumundi (South Queensland).
