An interesting Eucalypt was found between Inverell and 

 Tingha, first between the 6- and 7-mile posts, and again between 

 the 9- and 10-, extending easterly- from the latter point. It has 

 since been described by Mr. J. H. Maiden under the name of E. 

 Andrewsi (these Proceedings, 1904, p. 4 7 2). This tree certainly 

 belongs to the Peppermint group, although the local name is 

 Blackbutt, but this is partly accounted for by the fact that the 

 former name is otherwise employed in New England, E. Bridge- 

 siana being known as White Peppermint, and E. nova-miglica, 

 Deane & Maiden, as Red or Black Peppermint, while the coast 

 Blackbutt, E. pilularis, Sm., does not grow near Tingha, thereby 

 leaving that name available. In general appearance E. Andreivsi 

 presents considerable similarity to E. piperita, Sm., the Pepper- 

 mint which is common around Sydney, but the fruits of the two 

 species are quite dissimilar, those of the former approaching very 

 nearly to the medium-sized form of E. hcemastorna, Sm., the White 

 or Brittle Gum, which it may be mentioned was not seen on the 

 area described in this paper. The " sucker " foliage is scarcely 

 ever opposite, passing at once into the alternate stage, a feature 

 which clearly separates the species from such Peppermints as E. 

 amagdalina, Labill., and E. dives, Schau., to which trees there 

 is otherwise some resemblance. 



The seedling plants are erect, having fairly large bluish-grey 

 leaves, soon alternate, and in general habit and appearance show- 

 ing considerable likeness to seedlings of E. delegaiensis, R. T. 

 Baker, (the Mountain Ash of Tumbarumba) on a small scale. 



The species was noticed at several points between Tingha and 

 Guyra, and occurs in many localities on New England. 



E. sideroxylon, A. Cunn., (the Mugga of the western districts) 

 was noticed between the 11- and 12-mile posts on the Inverell- 

 Tingha road at an altitude above sea-level of about 2700 feet. 

 South of the Macquarie I have never found this tree at an eleva- 

 tion exceeding 2000 feet and usually below 1200 feet, but the 

 influence of northern latitudes is evident in the present instance.
