Habitat. —This species is found in Victoria and South Australia, and as far 
as New South Wales is concerned, it is a dry-country wattle—one of the western 
species. Endeavour is made to represent the western species in this work, and 
through the courtesy of the Western Land Board and its officers, it may he possible 
to deal with one western tree in every Part. At all events endeavour will be made 
to do this. 
In the National Herbarium, besides the localities already mentioned, we have 
it from Wyalong, Bygo Bun, in the Wagga Wagga district, the Harvey Bange, 
near Dubbo, Ivanhoe, via Hay, and Angledool. All these are of the typical form.
