Forming dense belts of a scrubby growth up to 8 or '0 feet high in various localities 
about Guy Fawkes, and up to within a very few feet of the very top of the Found 
Mountain. Young shoots and inflorescence minutely hoary or golden-pubescent,

Tenterfield to Sandy Flat. 
Mr. It. T. Baker gives the following localities for his variety glauca :— 
Murrumbo ; Bylong Creek; Gulf Road; Church Mount, Reed Creek, Rylstone, all 
in the Rylstone district; and Cobar in the interior of N.S.W. 
As already stated, I am unable to separate this variety from the ordinary 
form of Tanning Wattle, which is sometimes very glaucous and stunted—matters 
dependent on climate and locality.
