338 A NEW SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS FROM NORTHERN N.S.W. 



respects. The valves of the fruits of E. Deanei are not exserted, 

 or but slightly so, while the timbers are sharply different, that of 

 E. Deanei being red. 



Certainly E. propinqua Deane and Maiden, is a species with 

 which it might be confused with herbarium specimens alone (the 

 bark of E. propinqua is grey and patchy, and the timber red). 



The leaves of E. propinqua have finer and more parallel veins, 

 but in buds, flowers and fruits the resemblance of the two species 

 is sufficiently close to necessitate caution. 



The similarity of the leaves of E. Dunnii to those of E. tereti- 

 cornis is often marked, as has already been noted. 



Hah. — Acacia Creek, Macpherson Range, New South Wales 

 side. Extends into Queensland territory, " but I do not believe 

 it is found north of the Condamine River " (William Dunn, 

 Forest Guard; specimen No. 88). 



" As a rule it is found on the lower lands, on rich volcanic soil, 

 along the banks of water-courses and the like. There is a good 

 deal in the district, but I do not know any other district where 

 it grows " (W. Dunn). It would appear desirable to search for 

 further localities for this apparently very desirable timber. 



The species is named in honour of William Dunn, Forest Guard, 

 Acacia Creek, who first sent it; and who has assiduously collected 

 the forest flora of his district.
