It grows on heavier soils. Subspecies canescens has greyer foliage and is found on limestone-sand soils and is more prone to suckering.[5] Subspecies oleifolius is found more northern parts of Western Australia. DescriptionAlectryon oleifolius grows as a large shrub to medium-size tree to 9 m (30 ft) high, with drooping branches.[1] The trunk has deeply furrowed grey to brown bark. The stiff long narrow leaves are greyish green and measure 3.5–14 cm long and 0.6–1.2 mm wide.[4]Distribution and habitatThe range is across all states of inland Australia. In New South Wales it is found throughout the dryer parts of interior and west of the state,[1] most commonly on sandy soils with limestone associated with belah (Casuarina cristata).[4] Ecology and toxicityAlectryon oleifolius sheds leaves, more commonly over the summer months.[4] Although palatable and formerly lopped for drought fodder,[4] Alectryon oleifolius is toxic to livestock (particularly ruminants), as it contains cyanogenic glycosides which are converted to hydrogen cyanide when digested.[6] Poisoning is much more likely to occur with starving stock, and when new growth is consumed. At other times, the foliage has been eaten without ill-effects.[4]Some populations of Alectryon oleifolius reproduce by suckering, forming small stands of clonal plants.[4] {{Clear|left}}References1. ^1 2 {{NSW Flora Online|genus=Alectryon |species=oleifolius |author = Gwen J.
