558 ON EUCALYPTUS STUARTIANA, F.v.M., 



Kew Gardens is very frequent, and another species (probably E, 

 dives, Schauer, J.H.M.), with cordate, sessile leaves, and others 

 lanceolate and inserted on a petiole " (Mt. York and near Yale 

 of Clwydd). Again, under date 15th August, 1817, nearing 

 Bathurst from the west, he says, " The E. 2yerfol%ata of the Yale 

 of Clwydd is very common." 



The above Eucalypt may be either E. Stuartiana or E. Cam- 

 hagei. 



Affinities. 



The closest affinity is with E. pulverulenta, Sims (q.v.). 



The more closely these two species are studied, the more 

 evident it becomes that they have many points in common. Mr. 

 R. T. Baker (these Proceedings, xxv., 667) is of opinion that E. 

 Stwxi^tiaiia (Bridgesiana^, whose bark yields an oil, differs in this 

 respect from E. pidverulenta (formerly Stuartiana, partim). This 

 is, however, an erroneous assumption, Mr. C. Falck calling the 

 latter tree "Turpentine tree" b}^ reason of the oil in the bark 

 (Eucalyptographia, under E. pulverulenta). 



The affinity with the smooth-barked E. Guruiii is less close, and 

 the confusion arose in regard to herbarium material onl3^ 



Range. 



Tasmania. — King's Island, Bass Straits (in bud only, and 

 therefore a little doubtful; in Herb. Melb.). 



Victoria. —The following six G-ippsland localities are by Mr. A. 

 W. Howitt, who has kindly favoured me with specimens. They 

 are all his "Apple tree or But But " :- - 



Castle Burn Creek, Crooked River Road; Stratford; Toon- 

 gabbie; Lily's Leaf; Four Mile Creek, Port Road; and Dargo. 



The following are some additional Yictorian localities : — 



Moyston (D. Sullivan); Ovens River, Timber No. 125, 1861; 

 Bright District (J.H.M. ); Hume River (Jephcott). 



The following two statements embody Mr. Howitt's views of 

 the "But But" of Yictoria. I have consulted Mr. Howitt in 

 the matter.
