Ernest Junction:, near Southport and Nerang, nearly 50 miles south of Brisbane 
(Dr. J. Shirley). 
The Stanthorpe locality is contiguous to that of those of New England (New 
South Wales), but the Ernest Junction locality is unexpected, and shows that the species, 
at all events in Queensland, extends to the coastal area. The range of this species is 
therefore most interesting and worthy of more complete investigation. 
Propagation. This is one of the most beautiful Wattles I have ever seen. We 
miss the beauty of many of our Wattles by neglecting to visit them in winter or in the 
earliest spring. My recollection of this species around Howell, during some bitterly 
cold days in August, 1905, was that of sheets or billows of bloom, set off, though not 
dominated, by the beautiful silvery foliage. It will stand snow and considerable frost.
