These are two specim'ensi belonging tO' var. linearis. Wya- 

 long, "Willowy, light-colored stems'' (W. S. Campbell). Mal- 

 lee, Wyalong (Forester J. G-. Postlewaite, March, 1900). 

 Blnish, glaucous cast, narrow leaves, very similar to E. 

 fruticetorum, but with hemispherical fruits. 



Blue Mallee, Wyalong (R. H. Cambage), September, 1900. 

 Type of E. polyhractea, R. T. B., kindly supplied by Mr. 

 Baker. Identical with South Australian specimens. 



White Ironbark or Ironbark Box. No. 1. Barmedman (R. 

 H. Cambage). "Bark rather yellow, smo'other than Iron- 

 bark; rougher than Box. Growing near E. sideroxylon. 

 This particular tree showed more like Ironbark than usual.'' 

 The fruits have a rim, and those of South Australian E. 

 odorata often have such a rim. The foliage is dull like that 

 of some Wyalong specimens referred by me to E. odorata. 



''Known as Whipstick Mallee from its erect, slender stems. 

 Its fruits are generally small, but vary in size very much. 

 The bark is brown at the base and white above. This is the 

 most easily distinguished of all the Mallees owing to its nar- 

 row green leaves. In some cases it grows as a single tree 50 

 feet high and a foot in diameter" (R. H. Cambage). {Proc. 

 Linn. Sac, F.S.W., 1900, p. 602.) 



Cobar (W. Woolls). 



ISTymagee (J. Wharton Cox). 



Ironbark Box or Bastard Ironbark, Trowell Cre'ek, 

 Nymagee (R. H. Cambage). 



Girilambone (E. Betche, October, 1886). 



Green Mallee. Type of E. viridis, R. T. Baker. Girilam- 

 bone, Jan., 1900 (W. Bauerlen). 



''Plentiful around the hills of Girilambone. Small thin 

 stems, ribbony at base, white at tips" (J. L. Boorman, June, 

 1901). 



Nyngan (Forester G. Martin). 



''Mallee Box," Minore. "Trees on Ironstone ridgtes in com- 

 pany with Mallee. Tall trees, 6 in. to 1 ft. in diameter, 

 with grey, box-like bark, branches clean. Sap-wood pale, 

 centre red, leaves long, pendulous, hence sometimes known as 

 long leaf Box" (J. L. Boorman). Typical for E. odorata. 



"Bastard Ironbark or Bastard Box. A very tall and 

 straight tree, growing amongst E. crehra, but has quite a dif- 

 ferent appearance. Is sometimes used as a substitute for 

 Ironbark ; is only found in ones and twos ; rare in the Dubbo 

 district" (J. L. Boorman). Small fruits, transit toi E. hicolor. 



"Black B'ox or Cooburn," Narrabri district. In bud only 

 (Forester McGee).
