Its aboriginal name on the Lachlan is “Beernan,” and towards the Bogan it is “ Ruba.”—(R. H. 
Cambage, Joe. cit.) 
Leaves. —See vol. ii, p. 86. 
The leaves are much in request for fodder, and if the branches be lopped, young shoots will grow 
freely, giving the tree a very pretty appearance, although generally it is by no means an umbrageous 
species.—(R. H. Cambage, Joe. cit.) 
The best fodder-tree of the west, superior to the Mulga ( Acacia anuera), on account of its fattening 
capabilities, and also because it will stand heavier lopping, being much harder than the “ Mulga.”— 
(Assistant Forester Andrew C. Loder, Broken Hill.) 
Habitat. —See vol. ii, p. 86. 
In New South Wales the species extends at least as far south as the Murrumbidgee, generally 
growing on good soil and avoiding rocky situations. . . . On the Lachlan and about Trangie, on the 
Western railway line, are places where it seems to attain its greatest size.—(R. H. Cambage, Joe. cit.) 
Additional localities in the National Herbarium, Sydney, are :—Page River, 
Scone district, the most easterly locality recorded (J.H.M.) ; Mt. Hangar, Gungal, 
leaves rather broader and greener than in the western specimens (J. L. Boorman) ; 
Narrabri (J.H.M.).

In stating that the fruit is eaten raw by the aborigines of Northern Queens¬ 
land, Hr. W. E. Roth (North Queensland Ethnography, Bulletin No. 3) gives the 
native names on the Cloncurry as “ Eldin ” and “ Uroka.” 
Habitat. —See vol. ii, p. 91. 
I have seen this south of Bourke, but not so far south as Cobar.—(R. II. Cambage.)
