Following are some type specimens examined by me. They 

 are all from Tasmania of course. See Hooker's Fl. Tas. 



(a) Gunn's 1080/1842. " Marlborough, received as such by R. 

 C. Gunn." To this label has been added later, "Cider Tree, 

 March 1840." A specimen in herb. Cant, ex herb. Lindl., is in 

 late flower, with neither buds nor fruits. The stalks and foliage 

 have a strong yellow cast. The calj'ces are glaucous. 



(b) Gunn's 1084. " Lake Arthur. A tree yielding rich cider. 

 18/2/43." 



The fruits riper and therefore more cylindrical than shown in 

 Hooker's plate. As regards the buds, some of them have pointed 

 opercula as shown at fig. 1 of the plate; the others have blunt 

 opercula as shown on the main figure. The buds and fruits are 

 alike glaucous. 



(c) Gunn's 1963. The sheet contains two specimens: — 

 (1) "Foot of Lake Echo tree." (2) "Uncertain where collected." 

 Both are labelled in the handwriting of Hook. f. In herb. Syd. ex 

 herb. Hook. The fruit is more hemispherical in No. 1963 than 

 in some of the other specimens. 



Following is an account of E. Perriniana. In these Proceed- 

 ings (xxvi. 135) it is stated that this form is identical with U. 

 Gunnii, Hook, f., var. glauca, Deane and Maiden, which is 

 undoubtedly the case, but as will be explained presently, I am of 

 opinion that the variety glauca should not be maintained, and it 

 and E. Perriniana should be simply placed under E. Gunnii^ 

 Hook, f., they being not sufficiently removed from the type. 



E. Perriniana, Herb. Perrin (non F.v.M. as quoted) see (1) 

 Report A.A.A.S. Melbourne, 1890, p. 557 ; (2) Proc. R.S. Tas- 

 mania, 1893, p. 181. This Tasmanian plant has not been fully 

 described in a technical sense. In the first Mr. Perrin exhibited 

 the plant, discussed its relation to E. cordata, partly described it 

 and added, "I am of opinion that . . . (this) . . . will 

 be found to be a new species." 



In the second Mr. Rod way alludes to it as E, Perriniana, F.v.M., 

 further describes the plant and its habitat, and concludes that it
