588 ON EUCALYPTUS GUXNII, HOOK. F. 



Postscript. — 1. Since the above was in type, I have received 

 two excellent series of specimens from Mr. Walter Gill, showing 

 that the varieties acervula and ruhida occur in that State. 

 They came from Kuitpo, Willunga, and confirm the surmises in 

 regard to the South Australian forms given expression to above. 



2. Mr. J. G. Luehmann's E. Kitsoni, from Southern Victoria, 

 has affinities both with E. Gunnii, var. acervula and E. hotryoides. 



3. Mr. A. W. Howitt has collected a remarkable form of E. 

 Gunnii. "It grov/s in the swam.py places in the upper parts of 

 Livingstone Creek, GijDpsland, Victoria, near the Great Dividing 

 Range, about 20 miles from the township. The bark is that of 

 E. Gunnii.^'' It has small ovoid buds with double opercula, and 

 the fruits are crowded together in heads of 9 or 10, with valves 

 slightly exserted. The superficial resemblance of this tree (which 

 requires further investigation) to the Western Australian E. 

 decipiens is remarkable. 



4. Eucalyptus Gunnii, Hook. f. var. inomtana, Hook. f. {Bot. 

 Mag. t., 7808, December, 1901). I cannot see in what way this 

 supposed variety differs from the normal species. 



Var. elata, Hook. f. {loc. cit.). This is synonymous with var. 

 acervula, Deane and Maiden. Hooker's independent enquiries 

 confirm our observations that this is a variety, which it 

 indubitably is {20th February, 1902).
