In New South Wales it has been found at Gloucester by Mr. E. Betche, and 
this is its farthest known locality south. In recording it as new to New South 
Wales, Maiden and Betche in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. W ., xxxi, 737 (1906), gave the 
following specific localities :— 
Cape Byron ; Mt. Lindsay, Macpherson Range; Acacia Creek, Macpherson 
Range. 
In shape and venation of leaves and pale underside it resembles the common 
L. dealbata a good deal, and there is little doubt that further search will reveal it 
to occur in brushes a good deal further south than Gloucester.
