538 FLORA OF AUSTRALIA, 



not be confounded with the rough-barked variety of E. viminalis, 

 LabilL, var. jyedicellaris, of Deane (fc Maiden. 



E. Bridgesiana, B. T. Baker. — This is now known to extend 

 as far west as Moura, Grenfell (W. Bauerlen). 



E. viTREA, R. T. Baker. — Extends as far south as Delegate, 

 and probably into Victoria (W. Bauerlen). 



E. OVALIFOLIA, R. T. Baker. — This "Red Box" tree occurs as 

 far west as Moura, near Parkes (W. Bauerlen), where it differs 

 in no respect from the type which was described from Rj^stone 

 specimens. To further prove its claims to specific rank as dis- 

 tinct from E. polyantheyna, Schau., it may be mentioned that the 

 former is found at Linley Creek near Goulburn, being known also 

 as " Red Box," where the latter species also occurs and is dis- 

 criminated by settlers. 



E. Fletcheri, R. T. Baker.— Victon (R. T. Baker). This 

 species is synonymised by Mr. Maiden in the Proceedings of this 

 Society (1902, p. 216) with E. Baueriana, Schau., the t3qDe of 

 which from the Vienna herbarium was exhibited at the June 

 meeting. This specimen is only in flower and bud, whilst the 

 description of it (Walp. Repert. ii. 924, Suppl. i. 1845) is practi- 

 cally useless for the purposes of Eucalyptus determination. E. 

 Fletcheri as described places beyond dispute the tree referred to, 

 whilst the fragmentary herbarium material now brought forward 

 as its type, and which may do duty for any of the " Boxes " 

 placed in the past with E. jwlyarithemos, Schau., will only lead 

 to still further confusion in the species of the genus, and cause 

 doubts in the minds of future workers. 



From the Vienna type material and its published description 

 I fail to see the connection between these two species, much less 

 E. conica, Deane & Maiden, which was also synonymised at the 

 same time under E. Baueriana, Schau., a species recorded by 

 Bentham as tropical. 



E. OVALIFOLIA, R. T. Baker, var. lanceolata, R. T. Baker et 

 H. G. Smith. — This " Box '' tree occurs at Putty, midway between 

 Richmond and Singleton (A. C. Barwick). The only previous 

 recorded locality for this species is Camboon, Rylstone.
