Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, near shore of Westernport Bay. This is obviously the female plant, laden with fruiting "cones" -- in fact each is a spike composed of woody bracts, with pairs of bracts enclosing small winged nuts -- not too different from the tiny fruits of birches (Betula, another member of the Fagales), which also resemble seeds.

This species can be difficult to separate from A. zephyrae. Generally it is monoecious but it can be dioecious like A. zephyrea but it has appressed leaf teeth and may have sparse hairs in the basal sections of the furrows on the branchlets.
