growth it resembles. The peduncles of E. Cambagei are shorter, 

 thicker and flatter than those of E. goniocalyx usually are, not to 

 mention other differences. It may be compared with an interest- 

 ing form of E. goniocalyx from Mt. Wilson and other places in 

 the Blue Mountains with peduncles often 1 inch in length, with 

 smaller and often spreading calyx, valves much exserted, and 

 with pointed buds. 



The leaves of E. Cambagei are usually much longer than those 

 of E. Stuartiana and the tree is easily distinguished. The buds 

 and fruit are quite distinct, as may be seen from the figure. 



Mr. Cambage writes : — " A typical Bundy grows on Silurian 

 slate ridges, though it will also grow on hills of igneous rock, but 

 in such cases the wood seems to me to be slightly softer, and in 

 more than one instance I have noticed that the inflorescence 

 seems better, the flowers more numerous, when the trees grow on 

 slate ridges. The Apple ( E. Stuartiana) grows on the flats and 

 near creeks and thins out towards the top of a hill, giving place 

 to the Bundy, and bushmen have argued with me that the tree 

 simply goes by easy gradations from soft Apple on the low lands 

 to hard Bundy on the high. I am satisfied that this is not so, a s 

 I have followed the Apple till it ceases up the side of a hill and 

 it does not change, while the Bundy begins at once as a hard 

 wood. By special search I have found more than once the top 

 Apple on the side of a hill just above the lowest Bundy. In the 

 month of October at Orange the buds of the Bundy were just 

 opening into flowers, but I failed to find even one Apple bud or 

 flower, as the flowering was over and the fruits well formed." 



E. Cambagei is frequently quite glabrous, but it is often more 

 or less glaucous, and in some localities even white. The latter 

 form is Baron von Mueller's E. goniocalyx var. pallens (B.F1. iii. 

 l>30).
