SyilOliyill. — B. denticulata, Dum-Cours. (according to Meissner). 
Leaves. —Note the spinulose margin (see plate). 
Size. —This is a tall shrub, not a timber tree. I doubt if I have seen it with 
a thicker stem-diameter than 5 inches. Room should he found for it in quite a 
small garden. 
Habitat .—This species is confined to New South Wales. In the Flora 
Australiensis, it is recorded from Port Jackson, Richmond (Nepean River), and 
Twofold Bay, which is not far from the Victorian border. 
In the National Herbarium, Sydney, it is represented from the following 
intermediate localities :—Cataract Dam (J.II.M.); Barber’s Creek (II. G. Rumsey); 
Bateman’s Bay (J. L. Boorman); Buddawang, or Mount Baldy, near Braid wood 
(J. L. Boorman). 
It is also not uncommon on the Blue Mountains, even on the highest and 
more westerly parts, e.g., Mount Victoria (J.H M.); Clarence Siding (J. L. Boorman).
