These display a remarkable similarity to those of the Blue 

 Mountains, and it seems impossible to assume other than that 

 they belong to the same species. It would appear impossible to 

 seize on characters even to make a well-defined variety. 



Both of us have independently grown seedlings from Port 

 Jackson and Port Hacking seed, and we cannot see any difference 

 between these seedlings and those of the Blue Mountain trees. 



9. E. MACRORRHYNCHA, F.V.M. 



At Hassan's Walls. 



10. E. PIPERITA, Sm. 



This is a common tree by the roadside most of the wa}^, but 

 does not continue much beyond the sandstone area towards 

 AVallerawang. 



The seedlings are cordate at the base; stem-clasping, blunt, or 

 with a short, sharp apex. They are arranged decussately and 

 horizontally; hardly glaucous; paler on underside. Venation 

 well marked. They have a strong peppermint perfume. 



11. E. SlEBERIANA, F.V.M. 



Has a range very similar to that of E. jnperita, and is confined 

 to the more barren parts of the mountains. 



The seedling leaves are vertically arranged; of the same colour 

 on both sides; glaucous, and larger than those of B. 2:>iperita. 

 The venation is rather acute with midrib. 



12. E. CoNSiDENiANA, Maiden. 



Common near the 1:0 mile-post (road), and the last tree 

 observed near the road was near the western boundary of Portion 

 12, Parish of Linden (nearly midway between Linden and Wood- 

 ford Stations). 



In full flower at 10 feet high, and the only Eucalypt in full 

 flower in the district (12th November). It is usually a tree of 

 30 or 40 feet. E. pipei-ita was in early bud, and E. Sieberiana 

 had nearly flowered off. (It has been suggested, and we concur,
