A very beautiful light-green viscous-leaved species, very abun¬ 
dant about Hobart Town, and forming dense thickets in some of 
the ravines at the base of Mount Wellington. It also occurs 
sparingly near New Norfolk, and on the St. Patrick’s River, 
N.E. of Launceston. It grows nearly six to ten feet high, but 
occasionally much more, and flowers in September.

A social plant, with glaucous green leaves, covering spots 
several acres in extent near George Town, but found also widely 
distributed over the colony in rather poor wet land. Its usual 
height is about four feet, but acres of it may be seen not exceeding 
two feet in height, and occasionally a patch growing six to nine 
leet. As the Phyllodia vary much in width, the varieties are apt 
to be taken for diflerent species. It may be distinguished from 
all other Tasmanian species by the very obviously feather-veined 
character of the phyllodia, a peculiarity not shown in the figure 
in the Botanical Magazine. It flowers in September and October.
