 reseniLles E. po2Jiilifolia beyond tKe Dividing Eange, but the trees 

 differ in bark and habit, whilst, according to the Baron Mueller the 

 latter has "leaves of lustrous green, less compound in florescence, 

 smaller and more crowded flowers on shorter or hardly any 

 Btalklets, proportionately larger lid, stamens all fertile, anthers 

 with more lateral openings, and filaments of darker colour and 

 smaller fruits." The leaves of E. pohjanthema are sometimes 

 glaucous, especially when growing near a river or creek, and the 

 operculum is double in the earlier stages of development. I have 

 found a tree of this species occasionally amongst forest-trees in 

 the neighbourhood of Liverpool and Eichmond, but its proper 

 habitat is near the banks of rivers or creeks. It does not occur 

 so far as I have been able to ascertain, near Sydney or Parramatta, 

 but according to Baron Mueller, the Southern variety prefers dry 

 ridges and hills, or undulating country.
