Bacchus Marsh (Mueller), a type locality ; Swan Hill, Murray River (J. G. 
Luchmann), 1890 ; Mallee District (C. Walter), 1889 ; Inglewood and Wedderburn 
(J. Blackburne) ; Yarram Biack (C. Walter), 1886 ; Wimmera (J. Reader) ; Nhill 
(St. Eloy D’Alton). 
New South Wales. 
“Mallee,” Wyalong (IT. Deane), about 1890. 
Wyalong (Forester J. G. Post.lethwaite), April, 1892. Height, 20 feet; 
diameter, 6 inches. 
Wyalong (W. S. Campbell), October, 1901. 
20-30 feet, with one or two dozen stems of 3 to 4 inches in diameter 
springing from one root. Barmedman and other stations in the Lachlan District 
(J. Duff). 
Leaves smooth, green and shining; flowers small. Grows in scrubs 5 to 
10 feet high, sometimes small trees, rarely up to 9 inches in diameter. Bark, dirty 
white, smooth. Broad green-leaf Mallee. (R. H. Cambage, Wyalong and 
Barmedman, September, 1900.) 
“ Broad-leaf Mallee,” Wyalong (J. L. Boorman). 
It will be thus observed that I only know this Mallee, as far as New South 
Wales is concerned, from Wyalong and Barmedman, and I appeal to my corres¬ 
pondents (which I rarely do in vain) to inform me of any other specific localities 
which may be known to them. 
It is an interesting fact, the full meaning of which geologists and plant 
oncologists have not yet explained to us, that Wyalong is a locality from which a few 
other plants have been obtained, hitherto only recorded from the Victorian Mallee 
country and South Australia. I do not wish to push the matter too far, as Australia 
is imperfectly explored botanically yet, and year by year a number of our “facts” 
of distribution are proved to have been provisional observations.
