have seen it at Tintinarra in the Ninety Mile Desert. There it 

 grows as a fairly smooth white-barked tree, with red interlocked 

 wood. The trees are smaller than those in the Cobar and 

 Nymagee districts, though they do not grow as Mallee, and are 

 often known as Desert Gum. In outward appearance it resembles 

 E. leucoxylon, F.v.M., which grows with it in the desert, but has 

 a yellowish wood. 



The Mallees were not so plentiful in this locality, as they were 

 to the westward, E. oleosa and E. dumosa not being seen east of 

 Jumble Plains. 



E. melliodora was found only at about 34 miles south-west of 

 Dandaloo. Most of the trees had smooth white bark. North of 

 the Lachlan this is the most western locality in which I have 

 found this species when growing away back from the river. 



At about 26 miles south-west of Dandaloo E. sideroxylon was 

 noticed in considerable quantities, and of better quality than 

 usual. 



E. rostrata was growing on Bulbodney Creek. The buds had a 

 short operculum similar to that found on trees at Sandy Creek, 

 south of Nymagee, and mentioned in a previous paper (Part iii.). 



The next piece of country to be dealt with extends from Jumble 

 Plains Homestead south-easterly to Trundle, being nearly 50 miles. 



Various trees and shrubs noticed were : — Callitris rohusta 

 (which continues all the way), Eremophila Mitchelli, Apophyllum 

 anomalum, Myoporum deserti, Dodoncua sp., Pitlosporum philly- 

 rceoides, Heterodendron olecBfolium, Bertya CuQininghamii, Hakea 

 leucoptera, Cassia eremophila, Fusanus acuminatus (on Burra 

 Burra Holding), Tecoma australis, Grevillea Jlorihunda, Eremo- 

 phila longijhlia, Callitris calcarata, Melichrus urceolatus, Exocarpus 

 cupressiformis (at Bullock Creek), O/earia fip.,Sterculia diversijblia, 

 Eriostemon difformis, Geijera parvijlora, Solanum ereniojyJiilum 

 (15 m. from Trundle), Exocarpus a-phylla^ Eremofhila Mitchelli, 

 Myoporum deserti, Hakea leucoptera, Sterculia diversifolia, Hetero- 

 dendron olecefolium (12 m.), Fittosporum phillyi'ceoides, and a few 

 trees, 20 feet high, of Santalum lanceolatum.
