The fungus JJredo angiosperma, Thum, occurs on living Hakea plants (Prof. 
Tassi, op. cit., p. 70 of this work). 
Timber. —Pale-coloured tough wood, used sometimes for tool-handles, but 
hardly large enough to be called timber. 
Size. —This species is commonly about 4 feet high, and I have never seen 
it more than 10 feet, with a trunk of 3 or 4 inches in diameter. 
Habitat.— This species is chiefly found in New South Wales, extending, 
so far as is recorded at present, a few miles into Victoria on the south (Snowy 
River, E. E. Pescott, through Charles Walter), and a few miles into Queensland 
on the north. It is a plant of cold, usually exposed, places. 
It is represented in the National Herbarium, Sydney, from the following 
New South Wales localities :— 
Mount Dromedary (Reader); Currawang Creek, Major’s Creek, and Bell’s 
Creek, Araluen (W. Baeuerlen); Monga or Sugarloaf Mountain, near Braidwood 
(J. L. Boorman). 
North of Sydney we have it from :— 
Crawford River (E. Clieel); Nundle (J. L. Boorman); Coolpi Mountains 
(J. L. Boorman); Apsley Palis (W. Eorsyth); Tenterheld (E. Betche); Wallangarra, 
on both sides of the New South Wales-Queensland border (J. L. Boorman); White 
Swamp, via Acacia Creek, on both sides of the border (W. Dunn). 
Then we have the Hastings River and Mount Lindsay localities referred to 
under “ Leaves.”
