Size. —Of medium size. I do not call to mind having seen a tree higher 
than 50 or 60 feet, and with a stem diameter greater than 2 feet. 
Habitat. —In coastal and coast-range districts of New South Wales, and 
Gippsland, Victoria, extending in the former State, as far as is known at present, 
from the Clyde River in the south across the country to near Goulburn, thence via 
Bnrragorang to the Blue Mountains (Wolgan) and the Penang Mountain, near 
Gosford. Doubtless the species will be found in localities intermediate between the 
Clyde River and Gippsland. 
Speaking of its Gippsland localities, Howitt says :— 
It grows most freely upon the poor sandy and clay lands of the littoral tracts, but I have also 
observed it in the mountains—for instance, where poor sandy tracts occur—as well as on the quartz grits 
and conglomerates at Wild-horse Creek, Wentworth River, on the upper Silurian sediments, between 
Toongabbie and Walhalla, the Silurian sediment in the Tambo Valley Road, the upper Devonian 
formations of the Insolvent Track, the Devonian porphyries at Gelantipy, and the Silurian formations at 
Delegate River.
