"No. 460, Charles Stuart, Timbarra, N.S.W. 40-50 ft., 

 bark white, smooth, separating in thin laminie. Tree much 

 branched." Multiflowered. Bentham places this with E. vimin- 

 alls, but I think it rather belongs to E. Gunnii, and for the 

 present I place it between vars. acervula and rubida, 



" White Gum," Koolah Station. Collected by Leichhardt and 

 labelled E. vivihialis by Bentham. I have some doubts that 

 these Queensland specimens may be referable to E. Gunnii 

 (between vars. acervula and rubida), like Northern New South 

 Wales specimens collected by Charles Stuart. 



Where no information is available in regard to the bark, it is 

 possible that a multiflowered form of E. Guunii may be mistaken 

 for E. pulveridenta (lanceolar form) in Northern New South 

 Wales and Queensland. 



B. — var. ovata, Deane and Maiden (these Proceedings, xxvi., 

 136). 



N.B. — It is quite impossible to separate var. ovata from var. 

 acervula in many cases. 



Synonyms. 



1. E. ovata, Labill., Nov. Holl. PI. Sp. ii. 13, 1. 153 (with descrip- 

 tion). 



In this plate the artist Redoute has exaggerated the crenula- 

 tion of the leaf-margins. He has committed a similar fault in 

 the figure of E. cordnta, Labill. 



Labilladiere says •' In terra Van Leu win," a slip of the pen for 

 "Van Diemen." Bentham, however, assuming that the locality 

 is Cape Leeuwin, says (B.Fl. iii. 200) . . . . " from West 

 Australia; does not occur in the distributed sets of Labillardiere's 

 plants I have seen. From the figure it appears probable that the 

 specimen represented was an adventitious branch, with much 

 broader leaves than the ordinary flowering ones. It is very 

 likely, therefore, a form of some one of the described western 

 species, possibly E. brachypoda."
