Size. It grows to a maximum height of about 100 feet, and with a diameter 
of up to 3 feet or 4 feet. 
Habitat. It has been chiefly recorded from eastern New South Wales and 
Queensland. It is a brush, or gully tree, and the most southerly locality noted, so 
far, is Dungog, New South Wales. 
It is a tree so often found in gardens that one must distinguish localities where 
it is indigenous. 
Following are the localities represented in the National Herbarium, New South 
Wales :- 
NEW SOUTH WALES. 
Near Dungog (J. K. MacKay). Copeland (E. Betche). 
Nymboidia (Miss G. Dudley Jones). 
Grafton (J. W. Black). Susan Island, Clarence River (J. L. Boorman). 
Tunstall, near Lismore, Richmond River (H. J. Farmer). 
An interesting locality is Blue Nobby's Station, between Coolatai and Yetman, 
north-west of Warialda. The specimens were collected by Charles Gifford Pryce and 
Alan Langley Pryce, who lost their lives in France and Gallipoli respectively. This 
is the most westerly locality recorded for the species. 
Macpherson Range, both the New South Wales side (William Dunn) and the 
Queensland side (Dr. John Shirley). 
QUEENSLAND. 
Besides the Macpherson Range locality referred to, Bailey, in his " Queensland 
Flora," has " Pine River and other southern localities." Its range in Queensland is 
probably very much more extensive. 
NORTHERN TERRITORY. 
In the Flora Australiensis it is recorded as having been collected by A. C. 
Gregory on Buckland's Tableland. 
Propagation. Brachychitons are useful as shade trees, and nurserymen will 
supply several, of which a Flame-tree (B. acerifolia) is the most in demand. The present 
species does not seem fco be much planted, so far as my experience goes ; but the foliage 
is handsome, and I do not know of any reason why it should not be planted in the 
warmer, moister portions of New South Wales.
