796 NOTES ON THE NATIVE FLORA OF NEW SOUTH WALES, II., 



Sims, I am disposed to regard it as a separate species. The 

 difference in the texture of the bark of the two trees is one 

 feature which causes hesitation before uniting them. 



The formation around Guyra is chiefly basaltic, and it was 

 noticed that trees of E. viminalis and E. ruhida were much more 

 difficult to separate than is the case in southern latitudes, where 

 the two species often grow on Silurian slate areas. In the latter 

 the foliage of E. ruhida is very often glaucous, which usually 

 affords a ready distinction in the forest. Whenever the seedling 

 or "sucker" foliage is available, there is no difficulty in identifi- 

 cation, the round leaves of E. ruhida being very distinct from 

 the narrow ones of E. viminalis. It was noticed around Guyra 

 that the multi-flowered forms of both species were common, more 

 so than is usually the case in the south. Near Ollera (45-mile 

 post), trees of the latter were examined for a distance of about a 

 quarter of a mile, and scarcely any were found with the flowers 

 arranged in threes, which is generally the form in the Bathurst 

 and Orange districts. 



Among the various plants noted from the coach, and in some 

 instances collected by the roadside, between the 20-mile post and 

 Guyra w^ere : — Clematis glycinoides, Hihhertia linearis, Viola 

 hetoniccp/olia, Discaria australis, Dodoncea viscosa, Daviesia corym- 

 hosa, Dilhoyniajunipeinna, Sieb. (between 27- and 28-mile posts), 

 Indigofera australis, Hardenhergia {Kennedy a) monophylla^ 

 Acacia linifolia, Willd. (between 27- and 28-mile posts), A. ohtu- 

 sata (?), A. dealbata, A. lejytoclad^ (plentiful between 22- and 23- 

 mile posts), A. spectahilis, A. implexa, A. melanoxylon, R.Br. 

 (between 46- and 47-mile posts), Angophora suhvelutiiia, A. inter- 

 media, Loranthus sp., Craspedia Richea, Wahlenhergia gracilis, 

 Melichrus rotatus, Leucopogon lanceolatus, R.Br, (near 42-mile 

 post), Persoonia sp., Hahea microcarpa, Pimelea glauca, Exocar- 

 jnis cup)ressiformis, Callitris calcarata (only between 20- and 21- 

 mile posts), and Diuris sp. 



The complete list of Eucalypts noticed between Narrabri, 

 Moree and Warialda is as follows : — E. populifolia, E. melano- 

 pthloia, E. Woollsiana, E. tereticornis var. dealhala, E. crehra, E.
