LoM, Wim, GleP, CVU, GGr, DunT, HNF. Scattered through western and south-western Victoria, from the northern Grampians to the South Australian border, with an isolated occurrence in the Brisbane Range, usually in dry forest associated with Eucalyptus obliqua and E. baxteri. In the absence of more recent collections, a single, very old record from the Otway Forest must be regarded as doubtful.
