464 ON THE EUCALYPTS OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



E. GuNNii, Hook, f., var. glauca, var.nov. 



(Plate xlii., figs. 5-7.) 



. This name we propose for the very glaucous form of this species 

 (far more glaucous than the typical Tasmanian form), the white- 

 ness of the fruits being especially marked. It is not uncommon 

 in the Snowy Mountains of both this colony and Victoria (includ- 

 ing summit of Mt. Baw Baw, Mueller), and we have it from as 

 far north as Nimbo Station, head of the Queanbeyan River (H. 

 Deane), where it is known as " Flooded Gum " and " Cabbage 

 Gum." 



E. Giinnii, Hook, f., includes, in our opinion, B. j)ci,ludosa, R. 

 T. Baker {Proc. Linn. Soc. A^.SJV., 1898, p. 167). 



We have specimens of typical E. Gtmnii from Tasmania which 

 tally with Hooker's description, and are accurately represented 

 by his figure in Fl. Tas. We find on the same twig fruits of the 

 .shape depicted by Hooker, and of the conical form depicted by 

 Mr. Baker as E. paludosa. We find such characters as the 

 undulations of the leaf not constant ; and having studied the 

 species in the field for many ^J^ears, and having examined a large 

 series of specimens from Tasmania, Victoria, and also New South 

 Wales, as far north as Hill Top, southern line, we fail to find a 

 line of demarcation between them sufiicient to constitute a second 

 species. The variety name paludosa might perhaps, however, be 

 retained to indicate the extreme conical fruited forms, but the 

 tree is not absolutely restricted to marshy localities. 



E. saligna, Sm., var. parviflora, var.nov. 

 (Plate xlii., figs. 1-4.) 



This is a tree from northern New England (Bluff River near 

 Tenterfield; also near Red Soil Creek. Mt. Spiraby, east of the 

 Dividing Range) which bears the local name of "Silky Gum," 

 owing to the sheen of its bark. It was also called by some 

 people "White Gum" and " Blue Gum." 



It is a very large tree, with smooth and sometimes almost 

 glaucous bark, a little riljbony at the butt. Some of the trees 

 resemble Blue or Flooded Gum {E. saligna) a good deal. In other
