is known locally as "White Ash;" its fruits are nearly sessile and 

 usually in threes. The only other Eucalypt growing with it on 

 the very summit is E. Sieberiana, F.v.M. We have also received, 



(a) From Mr. A. Murphy in November, 1899, collected from 

 the top of the Penang Range, near Gosford, specimens of a tree 

 very like a " Peppermint " in appearance, but having more flaky 

 bark on the trunk and white smooth limbs. The fruit is like 

 that of E. hcemastoma in shape, but the rim is sunk as in E. stricta. 

 The trees, which are not abundant, show a transition towards 

 E. hcemastoma, but we consider they should be grouped under 

 E. stricta. 



(b) From Mr. R. H. Cambage we have also received specimens 

 which we take to be a somewhat aberrant, form of E. stricta. The 

 tree has the appearance of a "Peppermint." The base of the 

 capsule is remarkably constricted, the whole being pear-shaped; 

 the rim is broad and somewhat sunk. The specimens were 

 collected in January, 1900, at Burrill, Milton, and on Pigeon- 

 house Mountain, Milton, about 100 feet from the summit.

" Bastard Stringybark " (Penrith; J. L. Boorman, January, 

 1900). We desire to invite attention to an interesting form of 

 this species. The opercula are more pointed ; the fruits are 

 smaller than is usual and nearly globular. They are on nearly 

 filiform pedicels of about 2 lines; the common peduncle is twice 

 that length and more. The plant is indubitably E. eugenioides, 

 though from examination of the fruits alone it might reasonably 

 be supposed to be E. ha-mastoma, var. micrantha. 



Eucalyptus Stuartiana, F.v.M., var. parviflora, var.nov. 

 (For a previous reference, see Proceedings, 1899, 628.) 



It seems desirable to indicate, by some name, a small-fruited 

 form of E. Stuartiana which has been found near Hassan's Walls, 

 at Young, and in several other parts of the colony. The sucker or
