688 NOTES ON THE NATIVE FLORA. OF NEW SOUTH WALES, L, 



Eucalyptus tereticornis at once appears on the granite hills. It 

 is apparently var. dealhata, but the fruits, though truncate, are 

 more pedicellate than usual for this form. 



E. hemiphloia, var. alhens, continues for a few miles, but soon 

 linds the elevation too cold. 



Other Eucalypts noticed at intervals along the roadside were : — 

 E. rnacrorrhyncha, E.j^olyanthemos, E. Camhagei, Deane<fe Maiden 

 (Mountain Apple), E. hcemastoma, var. micrantha, Benth. (resem- 

 bling E. Bossii, Baker & Smith; Brittle Gum), one small patch of 

 E. sideroxylon, A. Ounn. (Ironbark, on sedimentary formation 

 above Kyamba), E. canijyhora, R. T. Baker {E. Guunii, var. ovata, 

 Deane & Maiden), E. Bridgesicina, E. melliodora, E. 7'ubida, 

 Deane & Maiden {E. Gunnii, var. rnbida, Maiden, White Gum), 

 E. coriacea, A. Cunn. (Cabbage Gum), E. amygdalina, Labill. 

 (Peppermint, the first being seen near the 22-mile post from 

 Tumbarumba), E. maculosa, R. T. Baker {E. Gunnii, var. macu- 

 losa. Maiden, White Gum), E. stellulata, Sieb. (Sally or Sallow, 

 the first being near 13-mile post), and E. dives, Schauer (Mess- 

 mate, at about 2 miles from Tumbarumba). 



Seedling plants of E. rubida were noticed growing among those 

 of E. Bridgesiava; and presented considerable similarity through 

 both having orbicularly shaped glaucous leaves. By a little 

 inspection it was found that in plants of equal height (about two 

 to three feet), the former were paler in colour, had opposite and 

 larger leaves as well as smooth stems; while the latter had rough 

 stems, leaves rarely strictly opposite, and often slightly crenulate. 



Other trees and shrubs noticed along this road were : — Sterculia 

 diversifolia, G. Don (Currajong), Lej^tospermum scojyarium, Forst. 

 (10 feet high, with pointed leaves), Xanthorrhcea sp. (Grass Tree), 

 Exocarpus cupressiformis, Labill. (Native Cherry), Acacia dealbata 

 and A. imjAexa, Benth. 



The Currajong all through looked healthy and green, and in 

 this district, as well as elsewhere, fully demonstrated its drought- 

 resisting qualities. 



The most of the Eucalypts seen within about 30 to 40 miles of 

 Tumbarumba are those which might be found in a similar zone
