This tree is common in woods throughout western Hupeh, where it is known as 

 the Tsu-kang, and the wood is similar to and used for the same purposes as that of 

 E. macrophylla Walhch. 



The only Austrahan specimens I have seen are one collected on Richmond River 

 by C. Moore and another from Hastings River collected by Dr. Beckler and both 

 referred by Bentham to his var. laxiflora. The Chinese specimens agree well with 

 Bentham's full description of Brown's species, and in the absence of Austrahan 

 material of the typical plant there is nothing to be done but to follow Clarke and 

 others in referring the Asiatic plant to Brown's species. Nevertheless, I am scep- 

 tical as to the two being conspecific, since such distribution is contrary to all we 

 know of Chinese woody plants.
