it from var. acervula. It is one of the many specimens which 

 connect the varieties acervula and ovata. 



Brown's Camp, Delegate, and " Bastard or Flooded Gum," 

 Delegate (both W. Bauerlen). I many years ago labelled these 

 Delegate specimens "Highland form of E. Gunnii;" conical, very 

 exserted fruits; very pointed operculum; large broad thickish 

 leaves." 



Tumberumba (H. Deane). 



" Broad leaved Sally," Cockatoo, near Germanton (W. Forsyth). 



Nullo Mountain, Rj^stone (R. T. Baker). 



C. — Var. rubida, var.nov. (Syn. U. rubida, Deane and Maiden, 

 these Proceedings, xxv. 456). 



There are connecting links between the normally multiflowered 

 variety acervula and the normally three-flowered variety rubida. 

 Leaves, buds, fruits are all variable. Instances of this variation 

 have been given already; additional ones will be cited. 



I have observed var. rubida, e.g. at Wallerawang, with hard, 

 black bark for 10 feet up At other times it is ribbony right up 

 the trunk and all over. I cannot tell the difference, in the field, 

 in some districts, between it and typical Gunnii except by 

 botanical examination, Normally var. rubida is a White Gum, 



1, E. granidaris, Sieb 



Bentham (BFl, iii. 240) refers this to E. viniinaJis. No 

 description of it was ever published (Mueller, in Eucalyptographia 

 under E. viminalis). 



A specimen in Herb. Melb. collected by Mueller in 1853 at 

 Fifteen Mile Creek, Victoria, and labelled by him "^, granidaris, 

 Sieb,, E. viminalis, LabilL, var, granidaris, F.v.M." This speci- 

 men is in bud only (in threes) and is E. rubida. I have not seen 

 an original of Sieber's.
