Timber. —A small shrub ; I have never seen it of timber size. 
Size. —I do not think I have seen it larger than 5-6 feet high (J. L. Boorman). 
Habitat. —It is a native of New South Wales and Queensland. Sydney 
district localities are :— 
Maroubra Bay Swamps and La Perouse [J. H. Camfietd), Labour Farm, 
Bunnerong, La Perouse Road ( J . L. Boorman ), Centennial Park ( W. Forsyth). 
South I have collected it at Jervis Bay, Barber’s Creek, and Eden to Pambula. 
Eden is close to the Victorian border, and it is inconceivable that search will not find 
it in Victoria. 
West I have gathered it at Mount Wilson in the Blue Mountains. 
But I have no New South Wales locality north of Sydney, showing that it 
has not been looked for since I collected it in March, 1909, at Bundaberg, Queens¬ 
land, a shrub of 4-5 feet. This is the first occasion on which it has been recorded 
from Queensland. 
Propagation. —This is certainly a pretty species, worthy of cultivation.
