recently to include under E. amygdaUna, Labill., such well defined 

 species as E. radiata, Sieb., E. dives, Schauer, E. fastigata, 

 Deane and Maiden, E. regnans, F.v.M., and E. Smithii, Baker. 



The research on the genus Eucalyptus now in progress at this 

 Museum has proved conclusively that the above are all true and 

 distinct species if diagnosed on what appears to be a natural 

 classification; and it is on such grounds that I hold that E. 

 Stuartiana and E. Bridgesiana are also distinct species. 



E. hemilampra, F.v.M. , "Mahogany." 

 (Syn. E resinifera, Sm., var. grandiflora, B.F1. iii. p. 246)). 



An examination of the full material of this Eucalypt proves 

 that Mueller was correct in his systematic placing of the tree, 

 and now it is proposed to suppress its varietal position and restore it 

 to the specific rank as originally proposed by its author. It has 

 a wide range and its products and specific characters are constant 

 throughout its distribution. From Manly (Woolls) to the Clyde 

 River ( W. Biiuerlen). 



It is easily distinguished in the field from E. resinifera, Sm., 

 by its large fruits and pale pinkish timber. 



E. eximia, Schauer (White Blood wood"). — Generally considered 

 a mountain species, but it is to be found on all the ridges at 

 Gosford and in odd places on the Hawkesbury side (R.T.B.) 

 and almost to Berowra (R. H. Cambage). 



LORANTHACE.E. 

 Loranthus grandibracteus, F.v.M. — The first recorded speci- 

 mens of this species from this colony were obtained by Mr. W. 

 Biiuerlen at Tibooburra, and he has now collected it at Girilam- 

 bone growing on Eucalyptus populifolia, F.v.M. This is so far 

 the limit of its eastern range. 



COMPOSITE. 

 Brachycome collina, Benth. — New Angledool (A. Paddison). 

 Previously recorded only from the southern interior of the 

 colony, but it probably extends over the whole western area.
