Bundale'er Forest (J. H. M.), with broad and narrow leaves. 

 ''Mt. Bemarkable, F. Mueller, 1851." With narrow 

 lanceolate leaves, venation hardly observable. Labelled 

 odorata both by Mueller and Bentham. 



Mr. Walter Gill, the Gonservator of Forests of South Aus- 

 tralia, writes to me about E. odorata : — 



"It is growing on the Mount Brown Forest Reserve in the 

 Flinders Range, about 9 or 10 miles south of the town of 

 Quorn. The Reserve is situated about 20 miles a little north- 

 east of Port Augusta. The Flinders Range runs from Quorn 

 south as far as west of Laura. There is a lot of E. odorata 

 growing round Melrose, the town under Mt. Remarkable, 

 and som'e of it is very large timber (for odorata^. It may be 

 said that the species is general in the southern portion of the 

 State." 



"Peppermint. Type of Mallee growing in the Flinders 

 Range country, about 10 mil'es south of Quorn, and just a 

 little north of Mt. Bro'wn. This is another type differing 

 from the Adelaide specimens (3,324/99) in having the color 

 of the leaves bright sap-green instead of a, blu^ey green, and 

 having the inflorescence of a far more paniculate and terminal 

 character than the other. Soil dirty cream color overlaying 

 soft slaty rock of a dull yellow inclining to green, and some- 

 times also overlaying marl or limestone" (W. Gill). Flinders 

 Range at Quorn (Max Koch). 



In South Australia this species is known as "Peppermint 

 Gum" and "Box Gum."
