352 REVISION OF THE EUCALYPTS OF RYLSTONE DISTRICT, 



these two species anything in common morphologically, and their 

 timbers and bark are quite distinct. 



E. EUGENioiDES, Siel). " White Stringybark." 

 Fairly general throughout the district. 



E. Rossii, R. T. Baker ct H. G. Smith. " Spotted Gum." 



This tree I previousl}^ recorded under the name of E. hcema- 

 stoma var. micrantha. It has JDeen found, however, that it 

 possesses such distinctive characters from that species that it has 

 already been given specific rank under the above name. 



The timber is very hard, red-coloured and durable, and is far 

 superior to that of E. hcemastoma, with which it has been synony- 

 mised by various authors working on dried material. 



Camboon is the only locality I have collected it. 



E. DEALBATA, A. Cunn. " Mountain Gum." 



This species, for some reason not clear to me now, I recorded 

 under the name E, Gunni^ Hook. f. It is well distributed in the 

 district, and its occurrence so far east as Murrumbo is, I think, 

 a record for this interior Eucalypt. 



E. MACULOSA, R. T. Baker. A "Spotted" or "Brittle Gum." 



This species is common on diy, sandstone ridges of the western 

 slopes of the Main Dividing Range, particularly at Mount Vincent, 

 Ilford. The timber is poor and of little value even for firewood. 



E. CAMPHORA, R. T. Baker. " Sallow." 



I am now convinced that my original determination, i.e., E. 

 dealbata^ was entirely wrong in regard to this Eucalypt, and that 

 this species has little to connect it with that species. 



I have since recorded it under the name of E. camphora from 

 this as well as localities far removed from Rylstone. Deane & 

 Maiden express an opinion (these Proceedings, 1901, p. 137) that 

 it is identical with E. ovata, Labill., concerning which species 

 Bentham, who had access to all the European herbaria, states
