Strange as it may seem, Callococcus acaciae only occurs on Burgan.

@michaelb is that the taxonomist sense of humour?!

@Hejor1 the taxonomist who described and named *Callococcus acaciae* in the late 1800s misidentified the host plant as an *Acacia*. From numerous recent, validated records we know the species is host specific to *Kunzea*.
