E. GuNNii var. rubida Maiden. 



Called " Spotted Gum " at Dalgety, Snowy River (A. W. 

 Hewitt), a term more commonly applied to var. maculosa. Mr. 

 Howitt's specimens of juvenile foliage are as narrow as those of 

 var. maculosa ever are. 



Around Wingello I have collected typical rubida and also 

 specimens which show, both as regards fruits and juvenile foliage, 

 transit between var. riihida and var. maculosa. 



9. E. viMiNALis Labill., and E. Gunnii Hook. f. var. rubida. 



Miquel,* speaking of E. viminalis Labill., gives E. saccharifera 

 F. Miiller, and E. criicivalvis F. Miiller, as synonyms. I concur, 

 having seen specimens of E. saccharifera and E. criccivalvis (the 

 latter having very exserted valves). 



Incidentally I may remark that saccharifera was sometimes 

 written saccharifua. Two specimens are before me as I write, 

 viz., one in M iquel's handwriting, and a second in W. H. Harvey's 

 handwriting "ex herb. Hook." circa 1855. We may therefore 

 with safety put saccharifera, sacchariflua and crucivalvis as 

 synonyms of viminalis. 



Then Miquel (loc. cit.) describes a variety ''microcarjm F. Miill., 

 Ad Fifteen Miles Creek." I have seen an original specimen, 

 and it bears the following label—" Eucalyptus sacchariflua Ferd. 

 Miiller var. microcarpa C?) Fifteen Miles Creek, Lofty Ranges 

 [South Australia, J.H.M.], E. viminalis ws^v. microcarpa.'' It is 

 E. Gunnii var. rubida, to which we must add the above synonym. 



There are, indeed, two Manna Gums, each worthy of the name 

 E. saccharifera. E. viminalis is one, but the tree which in the 

 highlands of the Southern Monaro, Northern Victoria, and also 

 South AustraHa (to mention no other localities) which most pro- 

 fusely yields manna is undoubtedly E. Gitnnii var. rubida. 



10. E. TERETICORNIS Sm. 



In my last paper (these Proceedings, 1904, p. 7 7 3) I referred 

 to this species. See also my 'Forest Flora of New South Wales,'
