from young tree, 6 feet high, others from tree 12 feet high ; 

 leaves and fruits from young tree, 50 feet high. The seedling leaves 

 resemble those of normal E. globulus, whilst those from the young 

 trees are very large, the normal leaves are about similar to those of the 

 type. The fruits, however, are quite distinct from E. globulus. They 

 are sessile, on very short flattened peduncles, about 5 lines long and 5 

 lines in diameter ; calyx smooth, slightly domed, with sharp rim ; 

 valves erect, there being quite an absence of the tuberculate feature 

 of E. globulus. Lerderderg River, Bacchus Marsh District. (Tenta- 

 tively placed as a variety.) 



Eucalyptus sideroyxlon, A. Cunn., " Ironbark." — Howitt {loc. cit.) 

 gives no description of this tree under E. leucoxylon, but in the table 

 refers to it as an Ironbark, in which case, if it is such, then this species 

 must stand as Victorian as well as E. leucoxylon. Further, Mueller 

 (Eucalyptographia, Dec. 1) begins his article on this latter species with 

 the words " The Ironbark Tree of Victoria," and later quotes Howitt 

 in stating that the aborigines called the Ironbark tree of Gippsland 

 " Yerrick." It really is the Ironbark tree of Victoria. Bendigo.

E. paniculata. Mount Taylor, Bairnsdale. (J. W. Audas.) 



Eucalyptus rubida, H. D. et J. H. M. — I have little doubt that but 

 variety (b) of E. viminalis, Howitt's " Eucalypts of Gippsland," is 

 this species, as his description well describes the species, and as in New 

 South Wales, it is gregarious with E. coriacea. He gives localities 

 Dargo (4,500 feet), and Noyang, G«lantipy, and Morwell. It will no 

 doubt be found on the southern spurs of the Mt. Kosciusko range as 

 it is common on the northern slopes. Common in lower Yarra valley. 

 (P. R. H. St. John and R. T. Baker.) 



Eucalyptus Behriana, F. v. M. — A well-marked species and fairly 

 well distributed throughout the State in the Western and Northern 

 Districts and Bacchus Marsh, and Bendigo District. (R, T. Baker.) 



There are many specimens from different localities in the National 

 Herbarium. 



Eucalyptus gracilis, F. v. M. — This was described in 1884 by 

 Mueller, who synonymized under it E. calcogona, Turcz., and E. 

 celastroides. 



The original descriptions of these two latter are in Latin and without 

 plates, so it is doubtful what species were indicated. Maiden (Crit. 

 Rev. Gen. Euc. pi. 9) has these specimens drawn from type. As a 

 botanical draughtsman, I should hesitate in my judgment to place 

 these three under one species. Until they are better known and 

 investigated, I should advise the retention of the name E. gracilis for 

 Victorian species. Common in the Mallee country. 



Eucalyptus viridis, R. T. B. (Proc. Lijm. Soc, N.S.W., XXV., 

 316). — This Eucalyptus occurs in the Mallee country. The evidence
