514 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS, II., 



coloured thin rira such as is common in E. sideroxylon and E. 

 meUiodora. Valves well sunk, usually half-way down the 

 capsule. 



Hab. — Howell (Bora Creek), 19 miles south of Inverell, on the 

 tin-granite (E. C. Andrews, per favour of E. H. Cambage; April, 

 1904, and April, 1905, in bud and fruit); (J. H. Maiden and J. 

 L. Boorman, August, 1905). — Head of the Gwydir (Dr. Leich- 

 hardt, circa 1842). — "Mountain Ironbark," Upper Hunter (H. 

 Deane, 1888). — "Stunted Ironbark," Murrumbo, Rylstone (E. 

 T. Baker, December, 1893); at Howell it would appear that the 

 trees obtained a finer development. — Tingha (J. L. Boorman, 

 June, 1904), with fruits less pear-shaped than those of the type. 

 — Emmaville (J. L. Boorman, June, 1904). Very glaucous. 



This species appears to be very widely distributed over northern 

 Xew South Wales, extending from the Rylstone (Mudgee) dis- 

 trict north-east to near the Queensland border, and as far east as 

 Emma%-ille. The range of the species requires to be more fully 

 defined, but it appears to be found over the greater portion of 

 New England and over a considerable area of the western slopes 

 of this tableland. 



This species is named in honour of George Caley, Banks' 

 botanical collector in New South Wales (1800-1810), and whose 

 shrewd observations in regard to another Ironbark have been 

 referred to at p. 494 of these Proceedings. 



This tree has puzzled me for a number of years, but I have 

 collected an absolutely perfect series of specimens, and trust that 

 this species, which has a number of affinities, may now be clearly 

 understood. 



Affinitie-s,—{l) E. sideroxylon A. Cunn. E. Caleyi is sharply 

 distinguished from this species by its broad juvenile foliage, that 

 of E. sideroxylon being very narrow. The fruits of E. sideroxyon 

 are more globular and warted; the opercula are not constricted. 

 In E. sideroxylon (and I have chosen an equally fresh local 

 specimen for the observation) the filaments have a line line or 

 ridge extending the whole length. In E. Caleyi the line is less 

 marked, and extends only for the lower half of the filament.
