202 BOTAXY OF THE INTERIOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



Near its western limit it is often found on the river flats in 

 company with E. melliodora (Yellow Box), and reaches its most 

 western points along the rivers to the south. From the Mac- 

 quarie River southwards its western boundar}^ may be roughly 

 defined by lines joining Wellington, Eugowra, Grenfell, Coota- 

 mundra and Albiuy, although it apparently continues down the 

 Murray at least to Mulwala, having been recorded from that 

 locality by Mr. Baker (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. xxv., 667). It 

 is common on the Murrumbidgee around Gundagai. It may also 

 be seen in Victoria from the railway line at various points 

 between Albury and Seymour. 



Baron von Mueller always placed this tree under his E. 

 Stuartiana, but it differs from the tree growing at Ringwood and 

 other places near Melbourne, also included by the Baron under 

 E. Stv^artiana, in timber, bark and foliage, the Melbourne tree 

 showing strong aflinities to the Argyle Apple of New South Wales, 

 E. pulveridenta, Sims, to which E. Brldgesiana shows much less, 

 excepting in the sucker-foliage. Attention was first drawn to this 

 difference by Mr. A. W. Howitt, F.G.S., in 1898, before a meeting 

 of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science, 

 w^iich resulted in the New South Wales tree being described by 

 Mr. Baker under the name of E. Bridgesiana. 



Messrs. Deane k Maiden in their " Observations on the 

 Eucalypts of New South Wales " have retained the name of E. 

 Stuartiana for the N. S. Wales tree, and Mr. Maiden has since 

 included the Victorian tree under the lanceolar-leaved form of E. 

 pulveridenta (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxvi., 547).
