This species should be "rare uncommon native" for this region. I'll change it once I get a chance. :)

Thanks Lord Tapir, I believe its from around the Darling river further west...

Further west and further north, It's quite common up around Tamworth, Armidale etc. Records south of Orange are uncommon, the Conimbla National park area is a local hotspot. :)

Great info. Even though a few years ago I still remember being struck by awe at the beauty of this beautiful plant....
