E. AMYGDALiNA, Labill, var. latifolia, Deane and Maiden. 

 [Previous reference (2) x. G09.] 



Abundant on Black Range (Mt. Victoria to Jenoian Caves). 

 It is common also in the Goulburn district. 



E. regnans, F.v.M. 



The giant tree at Mt. Tomah, which has been recently measured 

 by one of us, is of this species. Diameter at ground, 17 feet, 6 

 inches ; 3 feet up, 16 feet, 3 inches ; height (estimated), 150 feet.

E. EUGENIOIDES, Sieb., var. nana, nobis. 

 [Previous reference, 1896, 803. J 



In exposed situations in the Blue Mountains a dwarf, mallee- 

 like growth of Eucalyptus grows. The species is mainly E. stricta, 

 sometimes admixed with a little E. stellidata, var. angustifolia in 

 swampy places. On the King's Tableland, Wentworth Falls, we 

 found a form of E. eugenioides which bears a remarkable resem- 

 blance to E. stricta, and in reference to its dwarf habit we style 

 it var. nana. 



This is the first occasion in which we have found this species 

 to form part of the dwarf gum-scrub in question. 



It bears a strong resemblance to E. stricta, unless the inflor- 

 escence and fruits be examined ; and we trust that the figures, 

 aided by the following notes, will make the identity of this 

 interesting plant quite clear : — 



Sucker leaves. — Lower leaves almost cordate and very symme- 

 trical. As growth proceeds they become ovoid and finally lanceo- 

 late. The lower cordate leaves about ^ inch long by ^ inch broad. 



Mature leaves. — Thicker, and, as a rule, more symmetrical than 

 those of the normal species. Narrow, lanceolate, those 2 inches 

 in length (which is the normal length) being usually ^ inch across. 

 Some of the leaves are proportionately so narrow as to come within
