Affinities. — Its closest affinity would appear to be with E. Deanei 
Maiden. The juvenile foliage of the two species is often remarkably 
similar in texture, shape, and apparently many other respects. The 
valves of the fruits of E Deanei are not exserted, or but slightly so, 
while the timbers are sharply different, that of E. Deanei being red. 
Certainly E. propinqua Deane and Maiden, is a species with which 
it might be confused with herbarium specimens alone (the bark of E. 
propinqua is grey and patchy, and the timber red). 
The leaves of E. propinqua have finer and more parallel veins, but 
in buds, flowers and fruits the resemblance of the two species is suffi- 
ciently close to necessitate caution. 
The similarity of the leaves of E. Dunni to those of E. tereticornis 
is often marked, as has already been noted. 
New South Wales: Acacia Creek, Macpherson Range. Extends 
into Queensland territory, ,but I do not believe it is found north of 
the Condamine River* (William Dunn, Forest Guard; specimen No. 88). 
11. Eucalyptus Caleyi Maiden, l. c., p. 512. 
A tall Ironbark tree, often glaucous, and finally becoming glabrous, 
but remaining dull-coloured, VERS 
Vernacular Names. — Called „Broad-leaved Ironbark“ at Howell 
in comparison with the local „Narrow-leaved Ironbark“, which is E 
sideroxylon, and which is rare in the immediate district. Also called 
„Silver-leaved Ironbark“, but not to be confused with E melanophloia, 
which is not found in the neighbourhood, but which is exceedingly 
abundant near Bingara, Inverell, Le 
Bark very deeply furrowed and hard, with much less kino in grains 
throughout the bark than E sideroxylon, and therefore not a true „Fat- 
cake Ironbark“ like that species. Timber deep red in colour, locally 
esteemed, and apparently a timber of good quality. Juvenile leaves 
nearly orbicular, 3 inches in diameter being the usual dimensions. The 
leaves are symmetrical and taper rather abruptly, into a petiole of about 
Lis inch. Texture thick and coriaceous, dull and even glaucous. Midrib 
rather prominent, and the intramarginal vein at a considerable distance 
from the edge. The secondary veins (of which the intramarginal vein is 
one) numerous, usually about !/, inch apart, roughly parallel, but con- 
verging and finally becoming nearly parallel to the midrib. Mature 
leaves broadly lanceolar, up to a breadth of 2 inches and a length twice 
as great and rather more. Nearly symmetrical, blunt-pointed, tapering 
at the base into a petiole of about an inch. Coriaceous and rather thick, 
equally dull on both sides; often glaucous. Intramarginal vein at a 
considerable distance from the edge. The secondary veins rather promi- 
nent and wide apart, and disposed at about an angle of 45? to the 
midrib. Buds, — Operculum conical and of less diameter than the calyx, 
which tapers much more than does the operculum. The buds often 
glaucous. Flowers axillary, becoming terminal by reduction of the 
upper leaves. Up to 7 in the head, the common peduncle rather slender
