and all the species of Verticordia in the west and north-west of the 

 Continent. 



The two genera will thus include species that have well marked 

 and distinct generic characters and a distinct geographical dis- 

 tribution. 



It is now proposed that the genus Rylstonea should include the 

 following species : — 



Genus Rylstonea, Baker. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. KS.W. 1898, p. 768. 



R. cernua, Baker, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1898, p. 768. 



Hob. — Widdin, Mt. Corricuddy, near Rylstone, N.S.W. 



R. Darwinioides, Maiden & Betche (Syn. Verticordia Dar- 

 winioides, Maiden & Betche), Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1899, 

 p. 643. 



Hab.— Dubbo, N.S.W. 



Tentatively placed under Rylstonea, as in my opinion, when 

 complete material is obtained, the species will stand under this 

 genus. 



R. Wilhelmii, F.v.M. (^Syn. V. Wilhelmii,'F.vM.), Trans. Vic. 

 Inst. 122, and B.F1. iii. 19. 



Hab. — South Australia. 



Eucalyptus amygdalina, Labill. — As far west as Isabella, 

 Burroga, N.S.W. (R. H. Cambage). 



E. Smithii, Baker ("White Top.")— Wingello, N.S.W., in the 

 gullies, on the Nandi Road, Sutton Forest (some very fine trees); 

 also plentiful on the Nepean Water Reserve. 



E. dextropinea, Baker. — Wingello, N.S.W., plentiful in the 

 gullies; its most northern locality. Its timber is locally used 

 extensively, and it is considered to be of excellent quality, being 

 known as "White Mahogany." It, however, has no connection 

 with E. acmenioides, the " White Mahogany " of the Coast. 



E. oreades, Baker. — This smooth-barked " Mountain Ash " of 

 the Blue Mountains occurs at the Caves between Wentworth and 

 Katoomba. Round the water holes near these caves are some
