694 NOTES ON THE NATIVE FLORA OF NEW SOUTH WALES, L, 



Lepiosperinum scoparium, Daviesia ulicina, D. latifolia, Cassinia 

 aculeata, Bursaria spinosa, Cav., Exocarpus cupressiformisj E. 

 stricta, Loranthus sp., Banksia margi7iata, Cav., Sterculia diver si- 

 folia, and Discaria ausiralis, Hook. This last-montioned plant 

 may be found among the rocks in clear fields, its sharp spines 

 protecting it from being devoured by stock. 



On the hillside south-westerly from Mount Horeb railway 

 station, at about 8 miles from Adelong, are some trees of Euca- 

 lyptus hcemasioma var. micrantha (White or Brittle Gum), and 

 judging from the white stems visible, they appear also to be dis- 

 tributed among the hills to the northward. 



Between Adelong and Tumut the countr}'- is generally cleared, 

 and the remaining species therefore comparatively few. The fol- 

 lowing Eucalypts, however, were noticed : — E. Bridgesiana, E. 

 melliodo7-a, E. hemiphloia var. alhens, E. tereticornis, E. macror- 

 rhyncha, E. dives, E. rostrata (on Gilmore Creek), and E. polyan- 

 ihemos, 



Desinodiuvi varians, Endl., and Glycine tahacina, Benth., were 

 found near Tumut. Eucalyptus pulverulenta, Sims, the Argyle 

 Apple, may be found a few miles south-easterly from Tumut. 



In going from Tumut towards Wyangle for a distance north- 

 easterly of about 15 miles, the Eucalypts noticed were : — E. ros- 

 trata (near the Tumut River), E. Bridgesiana, E. hemiphloia var. 

 alhens, E. melliodora, E. macrorrhyncha, E. polyanthemos (chiefly 

 known as Round-leaf Gum), E. tereticornis, E. Cambagei (some 

 with very large flowers and fruits), E. dives, E. amygdalina, E. 

 ruhida, E. viminalis, E. coriacea, and E. camphor a. 



A casual glance over this list will at once reveal the fact 

 that the countrj" passed over must be rising from Tumut to 

 Wyangle, as the species mentioned from E. dives onward are all 

 cold-country trees, and are very rarely found growing among 

 such as E. rostrata or var. albens. At the same time the con- 

 necting links between the warm- and cold-climate floras may be 

 found represented by E. jjolyanthemos, E. macrorrhyncha, and E. 

 Cambagei. This clim.atic influence is a feature worthy of great 

 consideration in connection with questions of forestry.
