O ccurrence map generated via Atlas of Living Australia (https://w w w .ala.org.au). Family Fabaceae Distribution Widespread from far south-eastern N.S.W. through southern Vic. to central, eastern and southern Tas. including islands of Bass Strait. Description Shrub or small tree, 2–5 m high, erect. Phyllodes commonly whorled, but sometimes fascicled or very occasionally alternate, linear, narrow-lanceolate or occasionally quadrangular, commonly narrowing gradually into a sharp point. Flowers always in cylindrical spikes. Habitat Grows mostly in damp places. Specimens N.S.W.: 17.7 km W of Green Cape Lighthouse, R.Coveny 2946 (MEL, NSW); track to Womboyne L., 9 Oct. 1961, M.E.Phillips s.n. (CANB).

Notes A variant (MEL) recorded from Jacksons Ck near Sydenham on the north-western outskirts of Melbourne, and represented by a specimen presumably collected by P.R.H.St John, 11 Oct. 1906, warrants further investigation. It has verticillate and erect rather than spreading phyllodes up to 25 mm long and a spicate inflorescence. It appears to be very localised and is here included in this subspecies. Similar material (CANB) has been recorded from near Anakie Junction in the Brisbane Ranges between Ballan and Geelong in Vic.

Structural and Floristic Variation in the Forest Communities of the West Tamar, Tasmania
Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 117, 1983. [ms. received 3.9.1982) STRUCTURAL AND FLORISTIC VARIATION IN THE FOREST COMMUNITIES OF THE WEST TAMAR, TASMANIA. by M.J. Brown and R.T. Buckney N.P.W.S., P.O. Box 210, Sandy Bay, Tas. 7005 and School of Life Sciences, N.S.W. Inst. Tech., P.O. Box 123, Broadway, N.S.W. 2007. (with three tables and five text-figures) ABSTRACT BROWN, M.J. & BUCKNEY, R.T., 1983 (31 viii): Structural and floristic variation in the forest communities of the West Tamar, Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm., 117: 135- 152. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.117.135 ISSN 0080-4703. National Parks & Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 210, Sandy Bay, Tasmania and School of Life Sciences, N.S.W. Institute of Technology, P.O. Box 123, Broadway, New South Wales. The forest communities in the West Tamar were sampled by a stratified random process using 55 plots selected after preliminary analy sis of 243 Forestry Commission continuous forest inventory plots, which occur in the area. A total of 13 floristic units were recognised and described. The relationship of the floristic units to changing water availability, drainage, soil fertility and fire frequency are assessed and the problems of structural versus floristic classifications of forest types are discussed. INTRODUCTION The dry forests of Tasmania occupy some of the most heavily utilised areas of the state. Clearing for agriculture and urban development, sawlog extraction, firewood getting and burning combined with stock grazing have all made their mark on this vegeta tion.
