This is E. odorata, Behr. 



Following is a copy of Allan Cunningham's Journal (Oxley's 

 Expedition) on the Lachlan River, under date 23rd May, 

 1817 : — "Eucalyptus acacioides. A shrub about 12 feet high, 

 allied to E. saligna." 



I have received a specimen in flower from Herb., Kew. 

 There is a fruiting specimen in Herb. Cant. In the absence 

 of fruit its superficial resemblance to E. stricta, Sieb., var. 

 angustifoUa, Benth., is remarkable. 



Cunningham confused his own plant with another. There 

 is a specimen of E. stricta, Sieb., in Herb. Vindob., bearing 

 the following label in Allan Cunningham's handwriting : — 

 ''Eucalyptus acacioides, C, Mar., 1817, Blue Mountains, 

 N.S.W., 1817 (?), one of Sieber's species" (which, indeed, it 

 really is).

 The following specimens appear to' be referable to E. 

 WooUsiana, R. T. Baker, which appears tO' me to be not speci- 

 ^fically different from E. odorata. Mr. R. H. Cambage {Proc. 

 Linn. Soc, N.S.W., xxvi., 321) has pointed out the resem- 

 blance. 



Further enquiry will, I think, bring to light many 

 additional localities, for one form or another of the species, 

 and for the present I confine myself to naming one variety, 

 linearis (ante. p. 241), though it may be convenient to 

 enimierate one or two others later on, including, perhaps, the 

 ver}^ small fruited form. 



E . WooUsiana has the numerous fine oil-dots of E. odorata. a
