who has made special enquiries in regard to the tree that is now 

 called by his name. 



The specimens referred to as E. Sieberiana, F.v.M., var. 

 Oxleyensis^ Deane and Maiden, in these Proceedings (xxiii., 794, 

 1899) for the most part belong, in my opinion, to E. Andrervsi. 

 They have smaller fruits, usually more pyriform than the type, 

 but in view of the fact that the fruits of typical E. Andreivsi vary 

 more than ordinarily as ripening proceeds, it is premature to 

 define varieties of E. Andreivsi at present. 



The following specimens belong, in my opinion, to E, Andrewsi : 

 The Peppermint of Maiden's Dorrigo Report; summit of Mt. 

 Seaview and adjacent mountains; Tenterfield District; "White 

 Limb" of Glen Innes; "Peppermint," Cobark, on high ground 

 (A. Rudder); Upper Williams River (A. Rudder); "Moore's 

 Reef on top of hill going to the Hole. Tree in general appear- 

 ance much like E. piperita. Height about 1 20 feet, diameter 

 about 3 feet, with spreading and irregular smooth upper branches 

 to size man's leg. Soil stony with blackish mould. 11/10,93" 

 (A. Rudder). 



The Cobark and Upper Williams River specimens were 

 referred by Deane and Maiden (these Proceedings, xxvi., 123, 

 1901) to E.fastigata (pyriform series). Included, with these are 

 some specimens which are indubitably regnans (fastigata), and I 

 will refer in detail to the remarkable similarity of some specimens 

 of E. Andreivsi to those of E. regnans in a forthcoming work on 

 E. regna^is. I will not enter into further detail at this place, 

 ^ince illustrations will render my observations more easily clear. 



4. Eucalyptus Consideneana, sp.nov. 



A tree of medium height. 



Juvenile leaves narrow lanceolate, petiolate, soon becoming 

 alternate. A common size is a length of 3 inches with a width 

 of J inch. I have them, however, both shorter and broader. 

 They are narrower than those of E. Sieberiana, F.v.M., or E. 

 piperita, Sra. Of a rather strong peppermint odour, and often
