@MichaelMulvaney Not very common - I wonder if there is a larger tree lurking somewhere close by. Do you think the Herbarium would like a sample? I see you are listed in the Census for it in 1987.

I think I collected it on Red Hill in 1987, but I think we have now eradicated it from the Hill. There are some plantings on Parliament House that Gang-gangs like to visit and does seem to have been used as an occasional street tree andopen space planting from the 1960s -1990s so likely that there is a big tree around - but Gang-gangs destroy seed so they are not to blame for its spread
