Mueller (" Eucalyptographia " ) puts it this way : " Interspersed accompanying 

 E. mcvrginata through nearly the whole area of that species, but less gregarious, reaching 

 its northern boundary about the Hill River, and the southern at King George's Sound, 

 mixed also into the forests of E. loxopJdeha {foecunda), but not into those of 

 E. dw:rsicolor, preferring a richer and deeper soil than E. marginatar 



It is a lover of good soil and well-watered districts, and forming as it does a 

 large, picturesque, often scrambling tree, with huge branches, occurring exclusively 

 over large areas, it gives to country what is known as a " park-like " aspect. It 

 occurs within a line roughly connecting Cape Riche and Port Gregory, but we do not 

 fully know the localities north and east of that line. 



I have seen the following : — 



A specimen labelled •' E. ccdophylla Lindl. No. 250 of Mr. L. Preiss, 1837-1840, 

 Swan River." Also Diummond's No. 150 (presented by British Museum through 

 Dr. A. B. Rendle). 



Following are " modern " specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney :— 



King George's Sound (B. T. Goadby, No. 90). Albany (Henry Deane, R. Helms, 

 J.H.M.). Shrub of 2-3 metres, flowers sweet-scented; near King George's Sound 

 (Dr. L. Diels, No. 2188). "South West Plantagenet" (Dr. E. Pritzel, No. 250). 

 Denmark (Dr. F. Stoward, No. 159). Bow River, also Wilson's Inlet and Deep River 

 (Sidney W. Jackson, presented by Mr. H. L. White). (These are as near to the type 

 locality as I have got; they are a few miles to the east of it.) 



Foot of Stirling Range near Mt. Tulbrunup. Juvenile leaves perfoliate (J.H.M.). 

 (This is as far east as I have seen it. It is very abundant in the locality, and has by no 

 means petered out in the district). 



Jarrahwood (Forest Ranger Wm. Donovan). Preston Valley, with perfoliate 

 juvenile leaves (Max Koch, No. 1855). (The above are connecting localities between 

 the extreme south-west and the York district.) 



Tree of 20-30 feet. Thick, rough, brown, spongy bark. Growing in black 

 humus, foot of hill near Cut Hill, York (0. H. Sargent, No. 280). Bald Hill, near York 

 (0. H. Sargent, No. 421). 



Following are in the Perth district : — 



Greenmount (Dr. Stoward, No, 285). Guildford (W. V. Fitzgerald). Wood- 

 lupiue Creek near Perth (A. G. Hamilton). Perth (Dr. J. B. Cleland). Lower Canning 

 River (Dr. A. Morrison, No. 28). 



The following locality is on the Midland Railway. 25 metres high, Gingin (Dr. 

 L. Diels, No. 1945). This is the same as the Moore River. 



Mueller gives the Hill River (which is on the same parallel as Watheroo, on the 

 Midland Railway) as the northern limit, but this is greatly exceeded towards the north 

 by Port Gregory (Oldfield) which is near Northampton, which is again north of 

 Geraldton.
