302 PROCEEDINGS OP SECTION D. 



adduced by Mr. J. H. Maiden in Crit. Rev. Gen. Euc, XV., to make 

 this Eucalyptus identical with E. acacioides is insufficient for a definite 

 determination, as the remarks are founded on fragmentary specimens 

 and a meagre description by A. Cunningham of about twelve words, 

 " E. acacioides, a shrub about 12 feet high, allied to E, saligna," and, 

 it might be added, the specimens extant are equally fragmentary. 

 The first description of the tree is that given in the Linn. Soc. Proc. 

 (loc. cit.) (R. T. Baker). Mallee country around Bendigo. R. T. B. 



Eucalyptus dumosa, A. Cunn. — This, I think, should artand as a 

 Victorian species rather than a variety or synonym of E. incrassata, 

 as proposed by Mueller (Eucalyptographia, Dec. V.) and Maiden (Crit. 

 Rev. Gen. Euc, Vol. I, p. 93). The Victorian specimens coincide with 

 those found in various parts of the interior of New South Wales. 



Eucalyptus oleosa, F. v. M. — Common in the Mallee country. 



Eucalyptus polybractea, R. T. Baker (Linn. Soc, N.S.W., 1900, 

 p. 692). — This species is fairly common at Inglewood, and the Mallee 

 country around Bendigo (R. T. Baker), where it is distilled for its 

 high-class medicinal oil. This species since it was described has been 

 synonymized under E. odorata, E. acacioides, E. Woollsiana, E. 

 cajuputea, E. viridis, E. calycogona, and lastly E. fruticetorum. (Vide 

 Paper, Proc. Roy. Soc, Vic, 1913, on E. polybractea). 



Eucalyptus stricta, Sieb. — Mueller (2nd Census), and Howitt record 

 this as Victorian, the latter author on St. Pancras Peak, about 4,000 feet 

 elevation {Joe. cit., p. 93). There appear to be no specimens in the 

 National Herbarium. 



Eucalyptus viminalis, Labill., " Manna Gum." — A common tree of 

 Gippsland, where it is known as " Manna Gum." 



Eucalyptus polyanthemos, Schauer. — Found all over Victoria (A. 

 W. Howitt). E, Baueriana, Schauer, was placed by Mueller (Eucalyp- 

 tographia, Dec IIL) under this species when comparing the specimens, 

 which is probably about the best that could be done with the latter 

 material, for according to Maiden, Crit. Rev. Gen. Euc, Vol. IL, p. 120, 

 the original specimen is " in plump bud and expanded flower only " 

 — a worthless specimen in view of our present knowledge, upon which 

 to retain a species name. E. polyanthemos is quite a distinct tree from 

 E. Dawsoni, or E. Fletcheri, and is the second variety of Howitt under 

 this species in his "Gippsland Eucalypts" (Trans. Roy. Soc. Vic, p. 96.) 



Eucalyptus pendula, F. v. M. — Occurs mostly on river flats in the 

 western interior. Mildura, Nhill, Birchip (J. P. McLennan). There 

 is a specimen in the National Herbarium from Shire of Dimboola 

 (F. M. Reader). 



Eucalyptus fascicuhsa, F. v. M. — This is recorded in the Recording 

 Census of Victorian Flora, 1908 (Prof. A. J. Ewart), but I have no 

 locality to give. However, as it occurs in South Australia, it is in 

 that direction that it must be looked for.
