It also records that, "In cases of severe thirst, great relief may be obtained from chewing the foliage of this and other species, which, being of an acid nature, produces a flow of saliva—a fact well-known to bushmen who have traversed waterless portions of the country. This acid is closely allied to citric acid, and may prove identical with it. Children chew the young cones, which they call 'oak apples'."[5] It grows as a small tree with a rounded habit, reaching 4–10 metres (12–35 ft) in height. The species occurs in Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria.[4] On Kangaroo Island, it is the preferred food item of the Glossy Black Cockatoo, which holds the cones in its foot and shreds them with its powerful bill before removing the seeds with its tongue.[6] DescriptionAllocasuarina verticillata is a dioecious tree from 4 to 10 m tall with woody penultimate branchlets. The bark is fissured and the branchlets droop. The branchlets are up to 40 cm long, with internodes being from 10–40 mm long and 0.7–1.5 mm in diameter, broader at the end near teeth, and generally densely pubescent in the furrows, with ribs slightly rounded and a minutely roughened keel. the teeth (8–)9–13, are spreading, not overlapping and about 1 mm long. Male spikes are from 3–12 cm long, with 2–4 whorls per cm and anthers 1–2.5 mm long. The cones are cylindrical to barrel-shaped, longer than broad, sessile or on peduncle to 10 mm long with the body of the cone being 20–50 mm long and 17–30 mm in diameter. The valves are in several rows, sometimes extending well beyond cone body, broadly acute to acute, and often pointed. The winged seeds are from 7 to 12 mm long and very dark brown. The plant flowers all year round.[7]{{commons category|Allocasuarina verticillata}}References1. ^{{ cite web | title=Synonyms of drooping she-oak (Allocasuarina verticillata) | work=Encyclopedia of Life | url=http://eol.org/pages/628407/names/synonyms | accessdate=2014-04-05 }} 2. ^{{ cite web | title=Common names for drooping she-oak (Allocasuarina verticillata) | work=Encyclopedia of Life | url=http://eol.org/pages/628407/names/common_names | accessdate=2014-04-05 }} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Allocasuarina verticillata |url=http://www.australiaplants.com/Allocasuarina_verticillata.htm|accessdate=2008-10-26}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?taxon_id=28220 | title=Allocasuarina littoralis (Salisb.)
