A great number grow on the Cambewarra Mountain and around Berry, 
Budgong, and the Kangaroo Valley. 
In the Windsor Forest district there are many growing on the eastern slopes of 
the Blue .Mountains in the vicinity of the Kurrajong (District Forester). 
From the Hawkesbury River to the Hunter River, and from the sea-coast west 
for a distance of about from 10 to 20 miles. Confined to the gorges and scrubby slopes, 
these Palms grow luxuriantly in the district described. Hound about Ourimbah centre 
these Palms are or were particularly abundant (District Forester, Wyong). 
Inland on flats abutting on most of the estuaries and inlets, also on most of the 
salt-water lakes along the coast, up to a depth of 8 or 10 miles. Fairly abundant on 
the Port Stephens water at the Tea Gardens (District Forester, Taree). 
In limited quantities in the gorges about Telegraph Point in the Wilson River 
district, near what is known as Red Hill (Forest Guard W. C4. Cameron). 
Parishes of Waihou. Orara. and Moonee, county of Fitzroy (District Forester, 
Urunga). 
Particularly abundant in many parts of the Tweed River district, especially 
Stott's Island (District Forester, Casino). 
Queensland. Mi. F. M. Bailey, " Queensland Flora," p. 1684, simply says, 
" Many of the coastal scrubs south and here and there in the tropics." 
There are several other Australian species of Livistona. viz. : 
1. L. lunnilis R.Br., Prod.. 268. 
Following is Bent ham's description of L. h'tmilis : 
Steins 4 to (i feet high (Marliii.i), 10 feet (Ki-hnllz), 15 feet or tall ((luUitvr). Leaves orbicular-cordate 
in rircumference when fully out, with a radius of about 1 J feet, deeply divided into narrow plicate segments 
tapering to a fine point, the thread-like bristles between the, lobss varying from nearly 1 inch to very minute 
or altogether wanting: petiole much flattened, the acute edge? more or less bordered by small priekjes in 
our specimen*, but said to be often intermixed with larger ones even as much as i inch long. General 
panicle very large and loose, the partial ones between the sheathing bracts pyramidal and 8 inches to 1 foot 
long, twice or three times branched, th<; ultimate branches or slander spikes J to 1 inch long in flower, often 
twice that in fruit. Flowers numerous, in little sessile clusters along the spikes. Inner perianth segments 
scarcely 1 line long, the outer perianth about half as long with short, broad, rather obtuse lobes. Berry 
ovoid-oblong, obtuse, 7 to S lines long, more or less contracted at the base. Seerl oblong, somewhat flattened. 
Landsborough, in his " Expedition," says, " Boiled a pot of the young wood 
of the Cabbage Palm, which tastes like asparagus." 
This may refer to L. hutnilis; on the other hand, it, and similar statements 
by Leichhardt and some others, may refer to their experiences with L. anstraUs, 
collected on their way to the Northern Territory, and not in the Territory itself. 
2. L. inermis R. Br. 
I have already referred (p. 354) to the confusion with L. austmlis to which 
Bentham draws attention, but the following confusion of L. inermis with another Palm 
(L>il>'ifi;.c monostachyiis) seems more difficult to understand.
