Following are some New South Wales localities represented in the National 
Herbarium, Sydney, for the normal form :— 
Shrubs of 3 and 4 feet.—Foot of Big Jack Mountain, Bombala district ; 
“Black Wattle,” Weddin, Grenfell, and county of Ashburnham generally. 
Bylstone district; Cow Flat, 11 miles south of Bathurst; Parkes Water 
Supply; Bushrangers’ Rocks, Eugowra; Wellington; Minore, Dubbo ; Harvey 
Ranges. 
Tamworth ; Tingha; Moona Plains, Walclia; Howell, Warialda, and Emma- 
ville. Phyllodes very attenuate at the base in these two localities. 
It is a small tree about Brisbane. 
Now we come to the variety fcilciformis, the tree which is of such importance 
for its tanning bark. 
As regards the occurrence of the Mountain Hickory in Victoria, Baron von 
Mueller speaks of it as scattered through the eastern half of the State, over ridges 
and ranges, gregarious on some of the sub-alpine declivities and plateaux. 
New South Wales seems to be the natural home of the tree. In our State 
it extends from south to north, in the eastern half, on the southern ranges, the 
Dividing Range and its spurs, and the New England district. 
While this species is so abundant and so extensively distributed, it would 
appear that only bark from the colder parts of New South Wales is of any great 
commercial value, and I therefore give particulars of such localities in a little more 
detail. 
It is found from the Clyde and Bateman’s Bay district, all along the coast 
land, right down south to the boundary of Victoria. 
Nelligen, Moruya, Araluen, Tilba, Cobargo, Colombo, Bega, Candclo, 
Bombala, Delegate, and the Twofold Bay district are good localities. 
It is less common in New England, but employed in the Mudgee, Tamworth, 
and other districts for tanning. 
The following notes from a southern correspondent, who forwarded me some 
barks, include some additional localities :— 
“No. 1. Local name Hickory or Black-wattle, taken from a tree 40 feet in 
height, 16 inches in diameter, growing jilentifully on ridges and high lands in the 
parishes of Wagonga, Noorooma, Tilba, Bodalla, and neighbourhood, county of 
Dampier, for miles round the base of Mount Dromedary; soil generally light on 
slate formation. 
“ No. 2. Local name Broad-leaved Hickory, though not so plentiful as No. 1, 
yst in abundance, mere particularly about Milton, Bcrmagui, Tilba Tilba, Reedy
