Line engraving by Daniel MacKenzie, after Sydney Parkinson (1770).

Joseph Banks and his party saw this species at:
Bay of Inlets, Australia (1770)
Bustard Bay, Australia (22 May - 24 May 1770)

This small tree which grows on mudflats along the coasts of eastern and northern
Australia is commonly called the yellow-leaved or smooth-fruited spurred
mangrove, the spurs at the base of the plant being used as breathing organs.
