I might mention a peculiarity of this pine is that the cones are borne in thick clusters for the most 
part directly on the larger limbs instead of towards the end of smaller branches as in the common (White) 
pine.—(R. O. Moore, Coan Downs.) 
The same observation lias been made by Mr. Boorman in regard to this 
species. 
Timber. —This species is too small for timber. I have a note that a sample 
of “ Bock Pine ” from the Daubeney Banges, where the trees are 20-25 feet high, 
and 6-12 inches in diameter, is a splendid working timber, close-grained, and very 
showy. I have not seen twigs for many years, and perhaps a reader may forward 
me cones to see if the “ Bock Pine ” be identical with the “ Mallee Pine ” or no. 
Size. —A shrub 10 to 12 feet high, with spreading horizontal branches 
resembling a Cypress.— (J. Duff.) 
Small stunted pine, similar in growth to mallee, growing among mallee on Bygo Run, 10 feet high, 
spreading.—(Forester Taylor, Wagga Wagga.) 
Its manner of growth appears to be much after the style of Whipstick Mallee, i.e., it has practi 
cally no trunk, the branches all springing from a bole or stump close to the ground, and being of a 
decidedly spreading nature.—(Mr. R. O. Moore, Coan Downs, Mt. Hope.) 
Mr. Boorman’s description of the plants at Nymagee ( ante p. 40) is much 
the same. In Western Australia never more than a glaucous hush of 6-10 feet 
high.—(W. V. Pitzgerald.) 
Range. —It is a dry country species, found in the interior of New South 
Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, and also reaching the coast in Western 
Australia. 
The type locality is “ interieur de la Nouvelles Galles du Sud, entre 24° et 
38°.” The specimens were collected in the same district (by Allan Cunningham in 
Oxley’s Expedition) as C. calcarata were (see C. calcarata, p. 59), and Nymagee 
and Coan Downs may be fairly looked upon as type localities. 
Found amongst mallee scrub on Coan Downs, Roto, and other stations, Lachlan District.—(J 
Duff.) 
Mallee Pine grows in scattered patches in the mallee on this and neighbouring stations. It is 
usually found just on the fringe of the mallee, or on low sand rises in the mallee.—(R. O. Moore, Coan 
Downs.) 
A correspondent informs me that it occurs about 1 mile west of Lake 
Cudgellico, on the road to Welsh’s selection, hut I have not seen it. The above are 
New South Wales localities. 
Lockhart Morton sent specimens of the species from north-western Victoria 
to Mueller, who labelled it verrucosa. 
It also occurs in South Australia; Miquel’s type of Frenela crassivalvis came 
from Enfield, near Adelaide. F. tuberculata came from the cote meridionale, i.e., 
the coast of South Australia or the south of Western Australia.
