occurrence in South Australia. Bentham refers' some South Australian specimens 
doubtfully to this species, but I have not seen satisfactory specimens. I have even 
heard of the species extending to Western Australia (Coolgardie), but I ask for further 
investigation. 
Bentham records it from 
Queewland. Open forests on the Balonne River, Mitchell. 
New South Wales. Detached Whinstone hills, Liverpool Plains, A. Cunningham, Fraser [these 
would be co-types. J.H.M.] ; very common about Tenterfield, New England, C. Stuart; head of the 
Gwydir River, Leichhardt. 
New South Wales. Following are northern specimens in the National Herbarium, 
Sydney : 
Summit of Mt. Duri, 3,150 feet, near Currabubula, Andesite formation (R. H. 
Cambage, No. 3563) ; Attunga Forest Eeserve, Tamworth district ; Tamworth (Rev. 
H. M. R. Rupp) ; Moonbi Forest Reserve, Quirindi (Forest Ranger William MacDonald). 
All these Tamworth district specimens may be taken as practically from the type 
locality of Allan Cunningham. 
"Abundant on the granite towards New England," Barraba (Rev. H. M. R. 
Rupp); Emmaville (J. L. Boorman); Bolivia (J. Vernon); Jennings (J.H.M. and 
J. L. Boorman) ; Drake (J. L. Boorman). We are now near the Queensland border. 
Let us come a little south-west, and we have 
Curlewis (E. Breakwell) ; on hills east of Boggabri (R. H. Cambage, No. 3630). 
Continuing on the Inverell line we have 
' Tall shrub, almost arboreous," Cranky Rock, near Warialda (Rev. H. M. R. 
Rupp) ; Howell (J. L. Boorman and J.H.M.). This is in the tin granite country of the 
Inverell district. The species seems to do well in granite country. Inverell (J.H.M., 
J. L. Boorman, T. McDonnough); Inverell Road and Eraser's Creek (J. L. Boorman). 
We now go south to the Mudgee district to Camboon, 7 miles north of Rylstone 
(R. T. Baker). 
Going north again into the Pilliga Scrub we have Baradine (Forester William 
MacDonald), a dry locality. But it is a little surprising to find such a leap into the dry 
Cobar district of New South Wales. Trowel Creek Station and also Hermidale, 15 miles 
on the Nymagee Road, where it is known as " Bastard Yarran." ' Silver Wattle," 
25 to 30 feet high, and 4 inches in diameter, Trowel Creek, 25 miles north of Nymagee 
(R. H. Cambage, No. 221). 
In a word, it has the surprising range of New England to the Western Plains, and 
it would be desirable to record very many more intermediate localities than we have at 
present. 
Queensland. " All over the district in rich land and sheltered situations on the 
sides of hills. Trees grow to 20 feet, but have exceedingly thin stems in proportion to 
the height. Known locally as " Black Wattle," and used for tanning purposes. 
CaVttrix calcarata, Eucalyptus macrorrhyncha, E. Andrews! , Dodontea triquetra &c., 
grow around it." Stanthorpe (J. L. Boorman).
