PROCEEDINGS OP SECTION D. 307 



Eucalyptus fruticetorum, F. v, M. — Mueller (Frag. II,, 58) records 

 this species from the stony deserts of the Murray River and Murchison 

 River, Western Australia. The original specimen is not now extant, 

 Maiden, in Crit. Rev. Gen. Euc, Vol. II., pp. 40-41. Maiden {loc. cit.) 

 states it is identical with E. polybractea, R. T. B., but the description 

 {ho. cit.) does not indicate this latter species. Vide also Notes on E. 

 polybractea (Proc. Roy. Soo., Vict., 1913). 



Eucalyptus calycogona, Turcz. — From the venation of the leaf, 

 angularity- of the fruits, I should judge this to be a distinct species 

 from E. gracihs, and look forward to a chemical investigation of its 

 products in assisting to trace its true rank. I think, therefore, it 

 should tentatively rank distinct from E. gracilis. 



Eucalyptus uncinata, Turcz. — Occurs in Mallee country generally. 



Eucalyptus alpina, Lindl. — A species confined to one of the highest 

 points of the Grampians, Mount William, at an elevation of 4,000 feet. 

 This species is of note, for, according to Baron von Mueller, trees in the 

 Melbourne Botanic Gardens grown from seeds planted by himself 

 show no effect of environment, for they are morphologically identical 

 with the parent trees on the snow line. 



Eucalyptus incrassata, Labill. — Mueller (Eucalyptographia, Dec. V., 

 and Maiden (Crit. Rev. Gen. Euc, p. 93) place E. dumosa under this 

 species, but no chemical examination of this species has so far been 

 undertaken, and specimens seen by me from various parts of Victoria 

 appear to be constant. I advise that it be retained for the present 

 as Victorian. 



Eucalyptus incrassata,, Labill., var. angu^tifolia, Maiden. — This 

 variety has, so far, not been chemically examined, but morphologically 

 it gives indications of something more worthy than varietal tank. 



Eucalyptus neglecta, J. H. M. — Livingstone Creek, South Gippsland. 

 J. H. M. There is a specimen in the National Herbarium collected by 

 J. Stirling at Wentworth River. I think this is a form of E. camphora, 

 R. T. B. 



Eucahjptus Kitsoni, Lueh. — Kongwak Plains, near Outtrim, Sale, 

 Foster, and Otway Ranges (Kitson). National Herbarium. 



(4) Timber Trees. 



In this branch of technology the Victorian Eucalypts must rank 

 high as yielders of good commercial timbers, and some of the finest 

 on the Continent are tb be found amongst them. It is, however, 

 more in the direction of pale-coloured timbers that they excel, just 

 as in Tasmania, where in fact they are the only timbers, for no less
