582 BOTANY OF THE INTERIOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



From Mandurama to Hobby's Yards the country gradually 

 rises, and the following species ma}^ be seen : — Acacia dealbata, 

 Eucalyptus mellioclora, E. Bridyesiaua, E. Camhayei (not plenti- 

 ful), E. vwiinalis, E. macrorhyncha^ E. dives, E. tereticoriiis (not 

 plentiful on the highest parts), E. stelhdata, E. coriacea (on the 

 highest parts), E. ruhida, and E. agyr-egata, the latter being on 

 the flats near Neville and again at Hobby's Yards on the road 9 

 miles from Newbridge towards Trunkey. 



From Hobby's Yards to Trunkey, a distance southerly of about 

 9 miles, the country falls and the following trees were passed : — 

 Acacia dealbata, Eucalyptus aggregata, E. coriacea, E. stellulata, 

 E. rubida, E. Bridgesiana, E. macrorhyncha, E. dives (14 miles 

 from Newbridge), E. melliodora, E. maculosa, E. polyanthema, E. 

 Car/ibagei, and E. hcemastoma var. micrantha. The latter being 

 a few hundred yards to the westward and not visible from the 

 road. Gonipholobium Huegelii, Benth., was found a few miles 

 east of Hobby's Yards. 



Continuing from Trunkey to Tuena, the country still falls to 

 the Abercrombie River, and within the first mile the trees passed 

 were : — Eucalyptus polyanthema, E. Cambagei, E. maculosa, E. 

 macrorhyncha, E. Bridgesiana, E. melliodo7'a, E. tereticoriiis, E. 

 viminalis, and E. rubida. Thence to the Abercrombie River, at 

 12 miles from Trunkey, are E. hemiphloia var. albens, E. polyan- 

 thema, E. melliodora, E. Cambagei, and E. macrorhyncha. 



It may be noticed that during the last 1 1 miles all the tj^pical 

 cold country gums have been left behind owing to the increased 

 warmth of the somewhat lower country. Still an occasional tree 

 of E. viminalis may be found even below this level, there being 

 one solitary tree of this species just below the junction of the 

 Burro wa and Lachlan Rivers, although it looks quite out of place 

 amidst its surroundings. 



Near the Abercrombie River and towards Tuena are Casuarina 

 C unninghamiana, E. hemiphloia var. albens, E. polyanthema, E. 

 melliodora, E. tereticornis, E. Bridgesiana, E. macrorhyncha, and 

 a small patch of E. hcemastoma var. micrantha, near Tuena and 

 close to the 36-mile post from Newbridge.
