“This is an ill-defined area of endemism that extends from south and west of the Pilbara east to the Simpson Desert (although some species are limited by the Central Highlands). It roughly conforms to the distribution of mulga vegetation [...], but some of the species are distributed to the north in tall open shrubland where the boundary of the area of endemism is ambiguous” (Cracraft 1991: 214).
