but in all cases so situated as to be subject to the westerly 

 influence. 



The jreiius Lorantlius (Mistletoes) does not appear to be 

 strongly lepnsented over the area described, but when going 

 from Cowra Creek to Macanally, several Loranths were found at 

 one spot only, where a belt of diorite about 20 yards wide 

 crossed the track, the hosts being Eucalt/plus macrorrhyncha 

 and E. maculosa. Though they were certainly more plentiful on 

 the diorite, the occurrence was not strictly confined to that 

 formation, and though som( wliat lemarkable may be oidy a 

 coincidence. 



One of the most interesting species met with on Eastern 

 Monaro was EvcalyjUiis pulviyera A. Cunn , owing chiefl}' to its 

 rarity, and partly because of its probable identity with E. ]nil- 

 verultiUa Sims. This plant was referred to by me in these Pro- 

 ceedings for 1902 (p. 585), when its strong affinities with E. 

 cordata LabilL, of Tasmania, and its resemblance to E. pulveru- 

 lenta were discussed. 



E. piilvigera was desciibed by Allan Cunnioghani fiom speci- 

 mens collected at Cox's Kiver, near Bowenfels, on 8th October, 

 1822. It is a shrubby species, seldom reaching 20 feet high, and 

 often less than 12, with a smooth, greenish-white, gum-tree 

 bark, which is eventually cast off in long browu ribbons. Its 

 tougii stems are commonly from 2-3 inches in diameter, but are 

 usually bent over, and, in some instances, are quite prostrate. 

 Its most remarkable characteristic, however, is in the colour, 

 shape, and dis})Osition of the leaves. These are either orbicular 

 01- broadly ovate, and grow along the branches in decussate pairs, 

 about an inch apart, being covered onboth sides with a fine glaucous 

 powder which gives to the little trees a bluish-white tint. There 

 is an absence of the lanceolate; leaves so common amongst the 

 mature foliage of the genus, and altogether the general appearance 

 of these dwarf Eucalypts with their rambling habit is decidedly 

 quaint and striking. The branches are placed appro.ximately at 

 right angles to the stem, and the leaves at right angles to the 

 branches, so that, when viewed from certain positions, only the
