vision " I have referred it to E. capiteUuta, Sni., and to this- 

 opinion I adhere until a view of better specimens than 1 

 have seen in various herbaria shows this opinion to be an. 

 erroneous one. 



7. E. fasciculom, F. v. M., is at Aldgate a small tree. 

 ''E. largiflorens, a Gum, 40 ft. high. Trunk grey. Bark, 

 corky, ^ in., but thickening to \ in. in old trees. Western 

 Cove, Nepean Bay (Kangaroo Island), Professor Tate, 1881," 

 is in fruit only, and is, I think, E. fasciculom. I hope the 

 species will be looked for on the Island. A similar specimen 

 by Tate in the herbarium of the University of Adelaide from 

 "The Wells" (Kangaroo Island) is labelled by him 'largi- 

 florens var. or (?) heviiphloia." In the Adelaide University 

 Herbarium is a specimen in bud and flower labelled by Tate 

 "E. faniculata, Kankarilla, October 9, 1882," also, "Tea- 

 tree Grully, December, 1882," and "Willunga Road, Febru- 

 ary, 1883." This is really E . fascimdosa, F. v. M., a species 

 suppressed by Mueller himself in favour of E. paniculafa, 

 Sm., which is a very different tree. E. paniculafa should: 

 be removed from the flora of South Australia and E . fa><cicu- 

 losa substituted therefor. 



8. E . Gunnii, Hook, f. var. riihida, Maiden (E . ruhida^. 

 Deane and Maiden). Large trees near water occur at Aldgate. 



9. ^. incrassata, Labill. For figures of this variable spe- 

 cies see ''Crit. Rev. Eucal.," Part iv. Specimens collected 

 at Murray Bridge have the fruits slightly corrugated, and, 

 as regards size, intermediate between those of the type and 

 of var. angidosa. It does not seem worth while to desig- 

 nate it as a new variety. 



fa) Var. duwosa, F. v. M. At Hog Bay (Kangaroo 

 Island) this form was known as "Wakeri" (my spelling ; I 

 do not know whether it is correct) Gum or Mallee. This 

 form has mallee-like stems, and is 20 ft. high : bark hard or 

 ribbony to smooth, dirty grey ; leafy, umbrella-like tops. It 

 is nearest to var. dumom, but the fruits are rather larger- 

 and more conoid than those of the type. At Kingscote, on 

 the same island, var. dinnosa has clean stems, and is, say, 

 20-25 ft. high. It is abundant, and the principal firewood. 

 The timber is pale-coloured, neither red nor brown. At Mur- 

 ray Bridge it is a "Broad-leaved or White Mallee." It has- 

 dirty grey stems, less red in the bark than E. uncinata ; tim- 

 ber pale. At Memory Cove it is the principal Eucalypt 

 near the beach. It is not rare at Fort Lincoln (Kirton 

 Point), but appears to be uncommon on the Lake Wangary 

 Road. At, say, 2^ miles from Port Lincoln (old road) the 

 buds of var. dinnn^a display considerable similarity to those^ 

 of var. conglohata.
