"208 BOTANY OF THE INTERIOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



The Eucalypts observed were E. oleosa, E. dumosa, E. populi- 

 folia, E. intertexta, E. vlridis, and E. tereticornis, var. dealbata. 

 The latter is sometimes here called Apple wood. 



Mount Hope is about 10 miles south of Double Peak, and the 

 vegetation between these towns is much the same as that passed 

 through coming from Gilgunnia. 



From Mount Hope to Euabalong is about 44 miles south- 

 easterly, and up till two years ago there was no water to be had 

 on the road between these places, and the stage had to be made 

 in one day. This gave one very little time to examine the inter- 

 vening country, consequently my notes are not as complete as I 

 could wish. 



Some trees noted were Callitris robusta, Eucalyphts populifblia, 

 E. viridis, E. intertexta, and E. imcinata ; the last of these has 

 been only recently identified from some specimens which I had 

 put away. The fruits in this case are of normal size. 



From about the 15- to the 21-mile posts there is a Mallee scrub 

 consisting chiefly of E. oleosa, and E. ditmosa, while here and 

 there through the scrub are trees of E. sideroxylon and E. inter- 

 texta. At about half-way to Euabalong is a ridge of sandstone 

 and conglomerate, probably Devonian, though no fossils were 

 found. From the foot of this elevation the mallee extends for 

 many miles growing among the sand accumulated from the wearing 

 away of the surrounding hills. 



Just after passing the sandstone hill there is now a tank, and 

 growing near is a fair quantity of Mulga, Acacia aneiira, some 

 with fairly broad and some with very narrow leaves. I have not 

 seen this species east or south of this point, so that probably its 

 south-easterly limit is not far from here. 



Acacia homalophylla, A. hakeoides, and A. triptera, Benth., 

 were noticed at different points along the road. 



Apophyllum anomalum, Tecoma australis, Casuarina Cambagei, 

 Cardamine hirsuta, Linn., and Triodia irritans were also noted. 



Among the Mallee about here there is often a spreading Pine, 

 Callitris verrucosa, R.Br., which grows with a short stem and 

 branches out almost from the ground. The fruits are larger than
