A. Merralli, F. v. M. 



Camp 66, September 30, 1891 : W.A. Elder Exped. and 

 Acacia (Tietkens, or Fowler Bay), both labelled by Tate 

 Meissneri: should be .4. Mcrrcdlii, F. v. M. 



Probably Fowler Bay is correct, as there is a specimen 

 of .4. Merralli from ''near Charra, Fowler Bay, Mrs. A. 

 Richards," labelled ohliqit.a. 



EUCALYPTUS 



(in alphabetical order). 



1. E. calycogona, Tnrcz., var. gracilis, Maiden {E . gra- 

 cilis, F. V. M., partim. See figures and full details in Part 

 iii. of my "Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus"). On 

 Boston Island, Port Lincoln, it attains the largest size I 

 noted on the trip ; a tall, graceful Mallee, with smooth bark 

 and narrow leaves, of a height of 30 ft. and a diameter of 

 trunk up to 1 ft. It occurs also at Stamford Hill (not high 

 up), at Memory Cove, and at Murray Bridge, including a 

 form with apparently larger fruits. Timber brown. Fruits, 

 suckers, and very young buds only seen. Found also at Cape 

 Donington (Port Lincoln) and Fowler Bay (Dr. R. S. 

 Rogers). 



2. E. capitellafa, Sm. Mount Lofty Range. My speci- 

 mens come very near the type (Port Jackson). See my 

 ''Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus," Part viii., p. 

 218. 



3. E. cladocalyx, F. v. M. {E . corynocalyx, F. v. M.). 

 For remarks on the synonymy of this species see Proc. Linn. 

 Soc, N.S.W., xxix., 768. I studied this species pretty care- 

 fully from Port Lincoln to Lake Wangary, where, however, 

 the most valuable trees do not grow (the type, however, comes 

 from the Marble Range, close by Lake Wangary). It is, in 

 this district, an inferior species, and the warning is not in- 

 appropriate that seed collected from localities such as this 

 will produce inferior trees. It is a White Gum, more or 

 less scaly-barked like the eastern hcumastoma. Rather strag- 

 gling and spreading, a good head of dark-coloured, rather 

 broadish, shiny foliage. Timber whitish, hence "White 

 Gum"; looked upon locally as inferior to Red (Itucoxylon). 

 "White ants go through it," I was informed locally. At 7-8 

 miles from Port Lincoln (old road) ; it often has the grey 

 bark of one of the New South Wales Grey Gums {punctata). 

 Timber pale, but slightly brown in the middle. Abundant 

 at 11 miles. It often sheds the greyish outer bark, and then 

 becomes smooth brown all over like the eastern Angoyhora 

 lanceolata. At 12-14 miles we have an association between
