RANGE. 



This has already been described at pages 112-U5 of Pq,rt XIII. In view of the 

 confusion ^.hat has gathered about some specimens, I give the fqllpwing lg,belg pf speci- 

 mens in the Melbourne Herbarium seen by Mueller, which have been sent to me by 

 Professor Ewart. I hf.ve excluded those specimens of E. Dawsoni and E. Baueriana, 

 which IVJueller attributed to E. poly anthem os. The labels of these speciinens are, in some 

 c^ses, referred to at p. 113, sometimes with some change in the verbiagp. In most 

 cases the leaves are orbicular to broad- or oblong-lanceolate.

Following are some additional specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney : — 



" Small to medium-sized trees up to 40 or 50'fect. Bark ribbony or coming away 



in flakes, leaving a mottled patchy stem of red and grey. Foliage varying in size and 



shape; a most variable tree. Timber spoken of locally as first-class, but seldom reaches 



mill-size in the district." Wyndham (J. L, Boorman).
