474 ON FOUR NEW SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS, 



Plentiful in many parts of New England, N.S. W. The species 

 seems to attain its greatest size around Tingha. Plentiful on 

 belts of porphyritic felsite (R. H. Cambage). 



" Grows generally on granitic soils, but it frequently occurs on 

 the junction of basaltic soils with those of poorer formation" (W. 

 Christie). 



North and east of Tingha (about 2700 feet above sea-level) 

 and on the roads to Inverell and Guyra (R. H. Cambage) ; 

 Howell (J. L. Boorman). "Following are New England localities: 

 Wilson's Downfall, Undercliffe, Great Dividing Range west of 

 Bolivia and Deepwater. From the 10- to 25-mile pegs along the 

 Glen Innes-Grafton Road. Along the Glen Innes-Glen Elgin 

 track, Kingsgate, Oban, Tingha, Drake, Glen Innes to Inverell 

 Road, &c.,&c. Broadly it selects the high rocky table-lands of New 

 England, especially the eastern edge (if rocky and poor soil like 

 granite), and also the large mesas which extend easterl}'- of the 

 mesas proper, as, for example, that large block of high land 50 

 miles in length between the Rocky (Timbarra) and Clarence 

 Rivers " (E. C. Andrews). It extends to Queensland. 



This species in habit, bark and timber seems to come closest to 

 E. piperita. Its buds and fruits are, however, very different. 

 It is also allied to E. dives, but it has not the characteristic 

 juvenile foliage of the latter, from which it differs in other 

 respects. Its similarity in fruits to E. hcemasfoma has already 

 been alluded to. 



This species was first prominently brought under my notice 

 by Mr. R. H. Cambage in October, 1903. That gentleman 

 collected it and made extensive notes concerning it. It is 

 named in honour of Ernest Clayton Andrews, B.A., Geological 

 Surveyor, Department of Mines, New South Wales, who has 

 been giving attention to the flora of New England, particularly 

 as regards the vegetation on various geological formations, and
