(B.Fl. iii. p. 200), ''E. ovata, Labill., PI. Nov. Holl. ii. 13, t. ir)3, 

 from West Australia, does not occur in the distributed sets of 

 Labillardiere's plants which I have seen. From the figure, it 

 appears probable that the specimen represented was from an 

 adventitious branch, with much broader leaves than the ordinary 

 flowering ones. It is very likel}^, therefore, a form of some one 

 of the described Western species, possibly E. hrachyjwda.'' 

 Labillardiere gives a good plate of his E. ovata^ collected near or 

 on the coast at Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia, and it will no 

 doubt yet be identified with a Eucalypt from that State. 



This botanist could not possibly have collected E. camj:>hora in 

 his time, as its now known habitat was inaccessible in his da}^, 

 and the species common to Eastern and Western Australia are 

 all interior ones, whilst E. ovata, Labill., is coastal. Labillardiere 

 faithfully figures some 'particular species, but it certainly is not 

 my E. camphora, which has quite different flowers, leaves and 

 fruits. 



E. PUNCTATA, DC. " Grey Gum." 



I find now that two species were included under my original 

 notes, viz., the true E. imnctata occurring at Mount Vincent, and 

 E. squamosa, Deane k Maiden, under the name of " Ironwood " 

 at Kelgoola. Grows under the sandstone cliffs (J. Dawson). 



E. SQUAMOSA, Deane & Maiden. 



Some very tall trees of this species occur at Kelgoola under the 

 name of " Ironwood." 



E. Bkidgesiana, R. T. Baker. " Woolly-butt." 

 Originally recorded by me as E. Stuartiana. ' 



E. GONiocALYX, F.v.M. "Mountain Gum." 



Not previously recorded, but it is a common tree in the Never 

 Never country and Kelgoola. In the gullies radiating from Mt. 

 Corricudgy it is very plentiful, and some enormous trees await 

 the timber-ofetter. __
