580 ON EUCALYPTUS GUNNII, HOOK. F., 



Quiedong (W. Bauerlen); Michelago (H. Deane). 



Braid wood district, also Monga near Braid wood (W. Bauerlen). 



"Flooded Gum," Rob Roy and Queanbeyan (H. Deane); 

 *' Spotted Gum," Queanbeyan, connecting with var. maculosa (H. 

 Deane); '-Candle-bark," Queanbeyan (H. Deane). 



" No. 6, smooth yellow bark, rough near ground, Wingello; 

 Louisa Calvert" (about 1864). Mueller's note, "Record of bark 

 probably erroneous, E. Stuartiana.^' 



White Gum, Miss Atkinson, Berrima, Herb. Melb. 



Both of these are multiflowered. Perhaps they are nearer var. 

 maculosa, but the fruits are more of the shape of var. rubida, an 

 additional evidence of the impossibility of separating the two 

 forms. 



"Cabbage Gum,' Marulan (A. Murphy), with smaller fruits 

 than usual in 3's and glaucous. 



"Red Gum," Wingello (A. Murphy). 



'Yellow Gum," Barber's Creek and Wingello, including Paddy's 

 River (J.H.M.). 



Mt. Victoria, Lowther Road, Kanimbla Valley (J.H.M.). 



Jenolan Caves (J.H.M.). Very broad leaves. In 3's. "Cab- 

 bage Gum," bark very smooth and patchy; colours slaty-blue and 

 white. This is between the type and var. rubida. 



At Wallerawang var. rubida is a viminahs-looking tree, rather 

 drooping and with ragged ribbony bark. On flats var. rubida has 

 very red and ribbony bark here, and there is no doubt that the 

 description of rubida must be modified as to the bark. It is not 

 smooth in all localities, but ribbony sometimes. In this locality 

 it would not be taken for a "White Gum." It is either a ribbony 

 (or even densely ribbony) Gum, with a rough saligna-Vike or even 

 scaly bark at butt and a red patched trunk. In some places in 

 the district it is more a White Gum, but in drier localities. It 

 sometimes has manna on it. 



In the Capertee Valley var. rubida has flowers in 3's and with 

 yellowish- pointed buds. At Capertee I found several typical 

 trees with several flowers in 4's and a few in 5's. Further 

 examination of trees in some other parts of the State shows that
