F.V.M., as formerly stated. Also found in the Capertee Valley 

 (J. Dawson) and Hargraves (R.T.B.). 



E. viMiNALis, Labill. 



The name " Brittle Gum" given amongst others to this species 

 in the original Census has since been separated by me under the 

 name of E. maculosa. 



Occurs near most watercourses or low-lying land. 



E. CAPiTELLATA, 8m. " Brown Stringybark. 



I previous!}^ expressed an opinion that an apparent gradation 

 exists between this species and E. eiig em aides. These gradations 

 I find upon further investigations are not so pronounced as 

 originally appeareil to be the case. The fruits show a variation, 

 being sometimes hemispherical and slightly pedicellate and at 

 other times sessile and with compressed sides. 



E. H/EMASTOMA, 8m. " 8cribbly Gum." 



The trees at Coomber and Ilford have a large fruit with a red 

 rim and thick coriaceous leaves, and so, closely match the 8ydney 

 trees which I regard as 8mith's type. 



E. siDEROXVLOX, A. Cunn., var. fallens, Benth. "Ironbark." 



This species or \ariety has always appeared to me to present a 

 difficulty in systematically placing, as its flowers and fruits are 

 identical with those of E. siderocyLon — morphological characters 

 that cannot be ignored b}^ any systematist, and yet it possesses 

 distinctive foliage, timber and bark. I am sometimes inclined 

 to think it is the *' Rotten Ironbark" mentioned by Cunningham 

 in Field's 'New 8outh Wales,' published in 1825, as that vernacular 

 name fittingly describes the timber. 



E. CREBRA, F.v.M. ''Narrow-leaved Ironbark." 



A well distributed species in the district. Very plentiful at 

 Murrumbo on the Goulburn River.
