Bundy), E. polyanthemos, Schau., (Red Box), E. hemiphhia, var. 

 alhens, Miq., (White Box, first seen near Euchareena), E. sider- 

 oxylon, A. Cunn., (Ironbark or Mugga), and E. rostrata, Schl., 

 (River Red Gum), found only along the banks of streams near 

 Wellington. 



The first three species mentioned extend to Tasmania. 



Of the above Eucalypts only the following were noticed after 

 passing Stuart Town, where the elevation above sea-level is about 

 1800 feet : — E. tereticornis, E. hemiphloia, var. albens, E. mellio- 

 dora, E. polyanthemos, E. macrorrhyncha (scarce), E. sideroxylon, 

 and E. rostrata. 



E. sideroxylmi is the Ironbark from which the old mining 

 township of Ironbarks, now Stuart Town, derived its name. 



The other species which were seen nearer Orange usually prefer 

 a colder climate than is found in these latitudes below an altitude 

 of ] 800 feet. The species which predominates between Stuart 

 Town and Wellington is var. albens, and in travelling westward 

 it is found that this tree is generally more in evidence than any 

 other in heralding the approach of the western flora; and it is 

 commonly found growing on land suitable for wheat cultivation. 

 A few trees of this species were noticed in flower in October, 

 though the usual flowering time for this tree is the autumn. 



Other trees and shrubs noticed between Orange and Wellington 

 were: — Acacia dea/bata, Link (Silver Wattle), A. lanigera, A. 

 Cunn,, A. decora, Reichb., A. melanoxylon, R.Br., (Hickory), A. 

 annata, R.Br., A. vestita, Ker (a few miles off the railway line 

 towards Ophir and known as Black Willow around Hargraves, 

 according to L. F. Harper), Daviesia latifoHa, R.Br , (Hop scrub 

 of the cold country), Exocarfus ciipressiformis, Labill., (Native 

 Cherry), Loranthits sp., Hibbe^'tia sp., Diuris sp., Hardenbergia 

 (Kennedya) monojyhylla, Benth., (False Sarsaparilla), Stackhousia 

 linarifolia, A. Cunn., Gassinia Theodori, F.v.M., Stercidia diver- 

 sifolia, G. Don (Currajong), Gallitris robusta, A. Cunn., (White 

 or Cypress Pine), Argernone mexicana, L., (Mexican Poppy), and 

 towards Wellington much Hordeiiin nnirinutn, L., (Barley Grass)
