on the other. The typical form occurs in New South Wales, and 

 the species must therefore be added to the flora of the colony. 

 Woolls included it in his Plants of New South Walfis (1885), but 

 Mueller {.Second C'ensxis of Australian Plants, 1889) continued to 

 exclude it, probably because the nece.ssary specimens from the 

 colony were not available to him. 



It has broadish leaves like E. heyniphloia, and has been often 

 looked upon as a small-fruited form of that species. It is not 

 Bentham's var. (1) jyarvifiora (B.Fl. iii. 217), which is perhaps an 

 Ironbark (Eucalyptograph in). 



Some localities are: — Narrandera, Wagga Wagga, Young to 

 Grenfell, Mudgee, Dubbo to Peak Hill, Gunnedah to Coonabara- 

 bran, Wilcannia; and other places towards the north-west corner 

 of the colony. 



E. MELANOPHLOIA, F.V.M. 



Gundy, 11 miles east of Scone (J. H. M., August, 1899), is its 

 most easterly recorded locality.

It is the " Dwarf Box " of Forest Department Exhibition 

 Catalogues of a few years back, where it is labelled " E. brachy- 

 poda: timber not much used or valued. Open plains, Lachlan, 

 Darling and towards the Barrier Range." 



It is found in theNarrabri district (on the banks of the Namoi 

 and elsewhere), where it is known as " Coolibah." It has a 

 rough, persistent scaly bark, and is a pretty tree, with rather 

 dense and drooping foliage. Forester McGee, of the same district, 

 sent it as " Coolibah " or " Swamp Box " some years ago. The 

 leaves were very glaucous, up to 7 inclies long and up to 1 inch 

 broad . 



Leaves from trees collected on the Darling River (Bourke, &c.) 

 vary in width; leaves of the same length vary, on the same tree, 

 from |- to I inch broad.
