New South Wales localities (authenticated by material in the National 
Herbarium, Sydney) are :— 
Mulgoa, on the banks of the Nepean (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.). The 
type came from the vicinity of the Nepean River, where it exists to this day, 
though it is rare in the vicinity of the old Emu crossing of the Nepean, owing to 
settlement. 
Belmore, just south of Sydney. Taken from a tree 2 feet 6 inches in girth. 
A few years ago there were a number of trees in this locality much larger than the 
one noted (A. A. Hamilton). 
Kogarah and Hurstville, just south of Sydney (J. H. Camfleldand E. Betche); 
Gosford (J. J. Eletcher). 
“Sally Wattle.”—From tree 76 feet high; timber used for axe-handles; 
Narara, near Gosford (A. Murphy). 
Propagation. —This is a beautiful species, formerly the glory of the more 
southern Illawarra Sydney suburbs, but now comparatively fare owing to the 
progress of settlement. It is well worthy of cultivation.
