RANGE. 



This species is confined to New South Wales, so far as we know at present. 



It occurs in poor, sandy land from Sutherland, near Port Hacking, a few miles 

 south of Sydney, northerly to Port Stephens, and north of that it is found in certain 

 New England localities indicated below. It is quite obvious that additional southern 

 localities will be found,- and intermediate ones between Port Stephens and Walcha. 



While it seems to prefer coastal localities, it will be seen that it occurs on the 

 northern tableland also. Indeed, the range of the species requires to be carefully 

 ascertained. 



Following are some localities, travelling north : — 



Sutherland (J. L. Boorman). Woronora (F. W. Wakefield, No. 4). Kogarah, 

 Oatley, Como and Hurstville (J. H. Camfield). Folly Point, Middle Harbour (D. 

 W. C. Shiress). 



George Caley's specimens in the British Museum, " Twisted Stringybark, near 

 Sydney, January loth, 1807, capitellata."' (All in Caley's handwriting). Also British 

 Museum, Nos. 15 and 5 from Dr. A. B. Rendle,F.R.S., Keeper of Botany, British Museum, 

 1912. 



Corner of Pittwater and Spit roads, 20-50 feet high; also Common from St. Ives 

 tp Tumble Down Dick, a distance of about 5 miles (W. F. Blakely and D. W. C. Shiress.) 



Passing Broken Bay, the following coastal specimens are strictly typical : — ' 



Brisbane Water (W. D. Francis). Wyong (Forester F. G. McPherson). Morissett 

 (A. Murphy). " Bark deeply furrowed, timber good." " This species has always 

 yellow inner bark," Wyee (A. Murphy); Wallsend (W. W. Froggatt); Port Stephens 

 district (A. Rudder); South Head of Port Stephens (J. L. Boorman). 



The most northerly locality from which we have it is the Round Mountain, 

 Guy Fawkes Range, 4,250 feet above the sea, and about 50 miles east of Armidale, on 

 ifehe Grafton Toad (J.H.M.). Buds as compressed as it is possible for them to be. Fruits 

 large and hemispherical (figured at la and 76, Plate 37). From the material available 

 there may be room for opinion as to whether this is E. capitellata or E. macrorrhyncha, 

 but the buds, at least, incline me to the viev/ that it is E. capitellata. 



{a) Near Apsley Falls, Walcha, No. 1,217, R. H. Cambage (E. C. Andrews), is 

 identical with the preceding. 



(b) Fourteen miles east of Deepwater at 4,000 feet, No. 1,219, Cambage (E. C. 

 ■■ Andrews). In intermediate foliage only, but doubtless identical with the 



preceding. 



(c) Near Swamp Oak, Walcha, No. 1,218, Cambage (E. C. Andrews), has a very 



short pedicel and is one of the specimens which show how diffigult, and perhaps 



^ impossible, it is tq say W-hat line of demarcation there is between E. capitellata 



and E. macrorrhyncha. . ..
