218 ON EUCALYPTUS HAUERIANA, SCHAUER, 



Grenfell. Received under the name of " Bimble Box." The 

 true Bimble Box is E. populifoHa. 



Weddin Forest 'Reserve (J. H. Mcaiden). 



Young (W. W. Froggatt). 



Cowra, a "Box" with persistent bark on small branches (H. 

 Deane). 



Banks of the Lachlan, six miles south-east of Cowra; also two 

 miles north-east of Cowra, a "Grey Box" or "White Box" (R. 

 H. Cambage). 



Murga (H. Deane). 



Forbes district (H. Deane; also R. H. Cambage). 



Parkes (H. Deane). 



" Fuzzy box," Wellington. " Formerly looked upon as E. 

 largiflorens!'' (Received from Rev. Dr. Woolls with this informa- 

 tion). 



Dubbo (R. H. Cambage, also J. V. de Coque). It is the " Grey 

 Box, No. 2 " of Mr. de Coque's notes. 



" Blue Box," Minore (J. L. Boorman). 



Toraingley, Peak Hill, Narromine and Dubbo (J. H. Maiden). 



Gulgong (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman). In swampy or 

 low-lying country, rarely on hills; sometimes known as " Bastard 

 Box." With broader leaves than those of the Dubbo trees; the 

 sucker-leaves identical with those of the coast form, even if not 

 quite so broad. The stems of the suckers are yellow, turning red 

 later. The tree has a glaucous cast of foliage like E. polyantheinos: 

 the surrounding trees of E. heniiph/oia, F.v.M., var. microcarpa, 

 Maiden, are glabrous. Known locally as "Fuzzy Box" or "Bastard 

 Box," with rough bark up to the branchlets. The fuzziness or 

 woolliness of the bark is a useful diagnostic character in this 

 species. The timber is hard to cut, but more chippy and short 

 grained (brittle) than E. hemiphloia. It is locally esteemed as a 

 durable timber and a valuable firewood. The bark and timber 

 appear to be in no way different from the coast or typical form. 



Merriwa (J. H. Maiden and J. L. Boorman), with much 

 Loranthus on it. On the river fiats and taluses of the ridges — a 

 usual situation.
