CCXXXV. E. conica Deane and Maiden. 



In Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxiv, 612 (1899), with a Plate.

 Plate 60. It is also figured at Plate 219, Part LVIII of my " Forest Flora of New South 

 Wales." 



SYNONYM. 



E. Baueriana Schauer var. conica Maiden, in this work, p. 123, Part XIII. 



In certain cases (of which this is one), it is a matter of honest opinion as to whether 

 a plant may be looked upon as a variety of a certain species oi not. It is a geminate 

 species with E. Baueriana, and I think that convenience will be better served by looking 

 upon E. conica as distinct. 



RANGE. 



It is confined to New South Wales and Queensland so far as we know, and many 

 localities are cited at p. 124, Part XIII of the present work. The following are 

 additional : — 



New South Wales. 



" Large fuzzy Box-trees, 40-60 feet. It grows in a low moist place, subject to 

 occasional floods." Yalgogrin (J. L. Booiman). 



" A White Box. Has a rough white bark almost to tips of limbs; practically no 

 bole; of a spreading and gnarled appearance, and useless." Cumbijowa State Forest, 

 12 miles east of Forbes (Forest Guard K. Walker). 



" Like Peppermint, 24 inches diameter, 30 feet high. Rough grey bark, clean 

 at tips of branches; growing on high country." (Harvey Range State Forest.)
