BY HENRY DEANE AND J. H. MAIDEN. 713 



Fruits.— Often j^ale brownish and glossy, 5-celled, corrugated — 

 partly due to drying ; the rim slightly projecting. 



Specimens from the north of Port Jackson (between this 

 estuary and the Hawkesbury River) appear to differ from the 

 type onl}' in the following particulars : — 



1. They are glabrous. 



2. The calyx-tube is more elongated and the stalk of the fruit 

 thinner. 



The most obvious diiFerence is the almost entire absence of 

 glaucousness; no other difference is obvious or constant. 



Plants from the Spit (Middle Harbour, Sydney) have the buds 

 quite pointed, and long, with non-glaucous leaves. This is a form 

 which would be separated from E. obtusiflora, with greater or 

 less reluctance, according to the elasticity of view held in x*egard 

 to the definition of E. ohtusiflora. 



Ranqe. — Near Bulli (F.v.M.), thence as far north as Middle 

 Harbour, Port Jackson, but the precise northerly range not yet 

 defined. 



Following are notes upon a mountain variety of the preceding 

 species : — 



E. LUEHMANNIANA var. ALTIOR, nobis. 



We have observed at Mt. Wilson (the precise range we do not 

 know) a tree which may be described as a form of E. Liieh- 

 mcinnicDia, with fruits and all other parts comparati^^ely small. 

 The following notes will i-ender the resemblances and differences 

 clear : — 



Immature foliage, inflorescence and fruits, also twigs, all 

 glaucous. 



General remarks. — A tree of 60 or 70 feet with a trunk diameter 

 up to 2 feet. It will he observed that the tree is far larger than 

 that of E. Luelnndinilaua, a circumstance which we record in the 

 name altior. 



Bark. — Smooth, with some bark near the butt, falling off in 

 ribbons. A " White Gum."
