British Museum at least as early as 1876 under the number 4734, 

 under the above name and also that of E. jiolyanthetnos, Schauer). 



" Blue Box," Bankstown and Cabramatta (J. H. Maiden and 

 J. L. Boorman). 



Liverpool (H. Deane). 



Thirlmere (W. Cuneo). Type of E. Fletcheri. Also collected 

 by R. H. Cambage. Milton (R. H. Cambage, who furnishes the 

 note : " Wood good, posts of building good in ground for upwards 

 of 40 years. Bark rough, up to the ultimate branchlets "). 



Mr. J. S. Allan, Inspecting Forester of the district, says that 

 it occurs from Milton to Eden. 



I collected it about Pambula. At the saw-mill there it is 

 known as " Black Box," because of the dark foliage of the tree. 

 The timber is much valued locally, though in this district it is 

 rare to get a log large enough for milling purposes. The rough 

 bark is up to the ultimate branchlets. It is hard to grub out, 

 and it suckers badly. It seems to be usually found in good land. 

 It also goes by the names of '* Round-leaf Box " and " Brown 

 Box." 



Richmond (W. Woolls). Dr. Woolls always called it Lignum- 

 vitae or Poplar-leaved Box. 



St. Mary's, South Creek (R. T. Baker). Type of E. Fletcheri. 



Penrith (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman). 



Victoria. — This is a tree known in Victoria as E. polyaiithemos, 

 being included, with the Red Box, under that name by Mueller. 



Mr. A. W. Howitt deserves the credit of working out the range 

 of E. Bauer iana in Gippsland. In that portion of Victoria it is 

 known as "Cabbage Box." It occurs about Metung, Heyfield, 

 and Bairnsdale; on the littoral strip about the Lakes' entrance, 

 also on river flats only. It does not occur in South Gippsland. 

 "The timber is brown, and much softer than that of the Red 

 Box " {E. polyanthemos).
