MuM, VRiv, MSB, RobP, MuF. Also SA, Qld, NSW. Occasional on heavier soils on the Murray River floodplain in the north-west (e.g. Lindsay Is., Mildura, Red Cliffs, Kerang area).
Occurs with the other subspecies and intermediates, probably the result of hybridism, may occur. In particular, the disctinction between this and subsp. inflata is sometimes unclear.
