The chief flowering time of E. sideroxylon in the west is 

 about April and May, but flowers can generally be found before 

 and after those months. I have seen it flowering at Cabramatta 

 in January and July. E. Woollsiana flowers about February 

 and March, but flowers of this species have been collected in May 

 in the same locality as that in which E. sideroxylon was then 

 flowering. I am not able to state the flowering time of the tree 

 which looks half Box and half Ironbark, for though a very few 

 flowers were collected in June, buds were found in September 

 which seemed to indicate that the trees would be flowering in 

 October. The scarcity of the tree makes it difficult to arrive at 

 a definite conclusion in the matter. 



It is no part of my purpose to try and prove that the tree in 

 question is a hybrid, but simply to offer observations which may 

 assist in settling the question. I have handed specimens to Mr. 

 Deane, who will probably investigate this species. 



About 7 miles west of Trowell Creek House is a quantity of 

 Acacia trees up to 25 and 30 feet high, chiefly long stems, with a 

 diameter of about 4 inches. Leaves are slightly silvery and 

 somewhat resemble those of Heterodendron olecefolium. They 

 are growing on scrubby sedimentary formation in company with 

 Phebalium glandulosum and a Leptospermum. Only flowers in 

 a very young state were procurable in May. These were arranged 

 in racemes. The tree was not seen again, and I have not been 

 able to identify the species. 



Going on past Trowell Creek Homestead to the Nyngan Road 

 there are, Eucalyptus intertexta, E. populifolia, Myoporum 

 deserti, Phebalium glandulosum (a shrub), Geijera parviflora, 

 JfJremophila Mitchelli, E. longifolia, Canthium oleifolium, Acacia 

 hakeoides, A. colletioides, A. homalophylla, Eucalyptus oleosa, 

 E. viridis, IPeterodendron olecefolium, and HaJcea leucoptera. 



Crossing the Nyngan to Nymagee Road, at a point about 36 

 miles from Nyngan, and going to Honeybugle Station, a distance 

 of about 20 miles easterly, the following are noticed : — Gallitris 

 robust a, Gapparis Mitchell i, Sterculia diversifolia, Eucalyptus 

 oleosa, E. dumosa, E. viridis, E. populifolia, E. intertexta (but
