and about !/, inch in length, each flower on a distinct pedicel, Anthers 
almost quadrangular in shape, opening in pores nearly terminal, which 
are a little wider in the direction of the broad portion of the anther. 
Filaments often tinged red and minutely glandular. In full flower in 
August. Fruits pear-shaped, slender, tapering into a distinct pedicel. 
Diameter, say, !/, inch, with a length about twice as great. Dark brown 
and glossy when fully ripe. They have a marked dark coloured thin 
rim such as is common in E. sideroxylon and E. melliodora. Valves well 
sunk, usually half-way down the capsule. 
New South Wales: Howell (Bora Creek), 19 miles south of Inverell, 
on the tin-granite (E. C. Andrews, per favour of R. H. Cambage; 
April 1904, and April 1905, in but an fruit); J. H. Maiden and J. L. 
Boorman, August 1905) — Head of the Gwydir (Dr. Leichhardt, 
circa 1842). — „Mountain Ironbark“, Upper Hunter (H. Deane, 1888). — 
,Stunted Ironbark*^, Murrumbo, Rylstone (R. T. Baker, December 1893); 
at Howell it would appear that the trees obtained a finer development. 
— Tingha (J. L. Boorman, June 1904), with fruits less pear-shaped 
than those of the type, — Emmaville (J. L. Boorman, June 1904). 
Very glaucous. 
This species appears to be very widely distributed over northern 
New South Wales, extending from the Rylstone (Mudgee) district north- 
east to near the Queensland border, and as far east as Emmaville. The 
range of the species requires to be more fully defined, but is appears to 
be found over the greater portion of New England and over a con- 
siderable area of the western slopes of this tableland.

1. Irvingia nodosa v. Tiegh., Le p. 254. 
Smith a rapporté du Congo, en 1859, des rameaux avec fleurs et 
fruits d'une plante que Baillon a identifiée à tort dans lHerbier du 
Muséum avec UI tenuifolia du Cameroun et du Bénin. Elle en diffère 
beaucoup par ses feuilles coriaces plus allongées, mesurant 7 centimètres 
sur 3, par ses rameaux et pétioles moins gréles et grisátres, comme les 
gaines stipulaires. Les pédoncules floraux, grisátres aussi, mais très 
greles, sont fortement renflés aux nœuds. Le disque hypogyne y est 
plus développé et le fruit a la même dimension que dans lI. Barteri. 
C'est une espèce distincte, que je nommerai |. nodosa v. Tiegh.
