its occurrence south of the Clarence River, hut it should be looked for at least as 
far south as the Macleay. In Queensland it has only been recorded from the 
Brisbane River and Moreton Bay, hut probably extends further north. 
Hill, speaking of it as Minis clegans, remarks :—- 
A picturesque tree of very general occurrence in the scrubs on the banks of rivers. The trunk 
is of moderate size, covered with a rough, scaly, grey bark ; the branches are small, tortuous, 
and numerous ; the leaves are pinnate, the flowers terminal, and of a pinkish colour. 
Propagation. —Prom seed. This is a beautiful tree, well worthy of 
propagation for purely ornamental purposes. Like other “ brush ” trees it requires 
good soil, moisture, and shelter. It is a handsome foliage tree, whose habit and 
general appearance under cultivation may be seen from a fine specimen in the 
Botanic Gardens, Sydney, near the aviary.
