718 BOTANY OF THE INTERIOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



not so plentiful as formerly, as the eastern margin of its habitat 

 between the Bogan and Lachlan is now nearly reached), E. 

 Woolhiana, Casuarina Oambagei, Fusanus acuminatus, Acacia 

 homalophylla, A. decora, A. colletioides, A. doratoxylon, 

 A. Osteal di, A. dealbata (green variety), Qeijera parviflora, 

 Heterodendron olecefolmm, Eremophila Mitchelli, E. lonyifolia, 

 and HaJcea leucoptera. 



For the last 50 miles no trees were seen of Acacia aneura or 

 A. excelsa, but both were found, in limited quantity, growing a 

 few miles north of Honeybugle homestead, near an old copper 

 mine in which were found some very good specimens of hornblendic 

 rock. 



Going easterly from Honeybugle homestead to Mudall on the 

 BoganRiver,a distanceof about 16 miles, amongstother trees passed 

 in driving along, were Callitris robusta, Eremophila Mitchelli, 

 E. lonqifolia, Heterodendron olecefolium, Eucalyptus populifolia 

 (Bimble Box, sometimes spelt Bimbil; I understand that Bimble 

 is the aboriginal name for this tree), Sterculia diversifolia, 

 Eucalyptus intertexta, Geij era parviflora, Canthium oleifoliiim, 

 Apophyllum anomalurn, Acacia excelsa (some very good trees for 

 two or three miles), A. Oswaldi, A. doratoxylon, A. decora, A. 

 homalophylla, Capparis Mitchelli, Hakea leucoptera, Myoporum 

 deserfi, Fusanus acuminatus. 



At about half-way the first of the river black soil is reached, 

 which suggests that we are approaching the Bogan. With the 

 change of formation Eucalyptus larrjiflorens, F.v.M., (River Box), 

 re-appears, having been last seen on the Darling River country 

 south of Bourke {vide Part i.). Its drooping pale foliage at once 

 catches the eye, and appears different from anything seen back 

 from the rivers. The colour of the bark of this tree is the usual 

 grey of most of the Box species, but the young trunks of a less 

 diameter, that about 9 inches, show a decided blackening of the 

 outer layers of the bark. 



Here is also found Acacia pendul a, A. Cunn., (Myall or Boree), 

 the first seen along the country described in this paper. This 

 species always grows on what is known as "black soil " (the
