separate F. Gunnii from its variety in many cases. Southport> 

 1900 ft. (Charles Stuart). 



Swan^Dort (Dr. Story). "On flat ground with other scrub on 

 top of rocky hills" (Dr. Story, in herb. Melb.). With leaves 

 nearly ovate and with a mucro. I have identical specimens 

 from the vicinity of Hobart from Mr. Rod way, who looks upon 

 them as typical of Gunnii. In my view they are intermediate 

 between Gunnii and var. acervula. 



"Black Gum," Eastern marshes; also west of Cockatoo Vallej'"

 collectors); North West Bay (Cresswell); Richmond Boad; King-

" One about 40 yards from the biggest was 60 ft. at 4 ft. from 

 the ground and at 130 must have been fully 40 ft. in circumfer- 

 ence; it was without buttresses, but went up one solid massive 



column, without the least symptom of decay The 



largest we measured was, at 3 ft. from the ground, 102 ft. in 

 circumference, and at the ground 130 ft. We had no means of 

 estimating its height, so dense was the neighbouring forest, above 

 which, however, it towered in majestic grandeur. This noble 

 Swamp Gnm is still growing (1849) and shows no signs of decay" 

 (Rev. T. J. Ewing in Papers and Proc. R.S. Van Diemen's Land, 

 i. 165, 1851). 



The above magnificent trees were in the vicinity of the North 

 West Bay River, and if correctly described as Swamp Gum are 

 probably E. Gunnii, var. acervula.
