Habitat. —Confined to coastal New South Wales and southern Queensland. 
The type came from near Port Jackson; Beckler collected it on the Hastings 
River ( B. FI. v, 547). 
Byron Bay (A. H. Hammond) is the most northern locality recorded for New 
South Wales, the Hastings River being hitherto the most northerly record for this 
State. It is, however, admitted by P. M. Bailey in his “ Queensland Plora,” with 
the note: “ Recorded for Queensland by Mueller without locality.” (Maiden and 
Betclie.) 
Going south, it is common enough near Jervis Bay, and I have it from 
Conjola, near Milton (W. Heron). Its most southerly locality is a matter for 
inquiry. 
Propagation. —It was early cultivated in England. The figure of the plant 
depicted in the Botanical Magazine , t. 738, was made from a plant flowering at 
Yauxhall, London, in 1802.
