}Leucopogon juniperinus R. Br. has a wide but apparently discontinuous distribution in the coastal and tableland regions of eastern Australia. It extends over a latitudinal range of nearly iooo miles, from Gympie (Queensland) to Gippsland, and is found at altitudes from sea level to 4000 feet. Throughout this range, the species shows a high degree of uniformity in morphological characters, and it is apparent that this uniformity has a cytological basis.
