Aesthetic significance
This species is native to the coastal strip of South -West Australia. Baron Von Mueller is known to have travelled by sea on a collecting journey to Western Australia in 1867 and it is possible that a seedling of this tree and the two smaller specimens in this location were bought back by him and planted in this location on his return. This is a good example of this species for the age of the tree.
This tree is located in Rotary Park in the south-west corner of the Domain Parklands. The parklands, set aside during the 1840s, was utilised as the site of Government House in the 1870s. It was planted and landscaped in parallel with the Royal Botanic Gardens and Government House.
