Size. —Tree 20 to 30 feet high, forming a hushv tree. Its stem is under 
1 foot thick. 
Habitat .—The species is confined to the drier parts of South Australia, New 
South Wales, and Queensland. In South Australia it occurs north of the central 
district, chiefly comprising the basin of the Upper Finke River and its tributaries. 
In our own State it occurs in the dry west and north-west districts. Its southern 
limit is unknown to me. In Queensland it grows “ on high sandy ridges ” (Sir 
Thomas Mitchell), and it is found in many interior localities, extending northward 
as far as the Gulf of Carpentaria. 
Propagation. —From seed, which is abundantly produced.
