RANGE. 



The B.FL, iii, 221, localities for E. drcpanophylla will be fonrti ref'rrcd to 

 at Part X, p. 333. So far as I l<.aow,.E. drepanophylla i.s confined to Queensland, 

 and its recorded localities are from the coast and coastal ranges from Maryliorough 

 to Cairns, but it may Ije confidently predicted it will )je found north, south and west 

 of the places indicated. The following specimens belong, in my view, to E. drepanophylla. 

 Nos. 1-3 are from the Port Deniso)i district, and are probalily all typical : — 



1. " Ironbarli, the flowers white and sweet-scented; this is a very low (high — 

 a correction by Dallachy) stunted tree in this country. Edgecombe, 15lli August, 

 1863. No fruit." (Copy of Dallachy 's label endorsed by Mueller " Eucalyptus 

 drejyanophyUa Ferd. Mueller." This specimen has a second " Botanical Museum of 

 Melbourne " label, in Mueller's handwriting, " Eucalyptus drepanophylla F.M., Port 

 Denison," and this was seen liy Bentham. It is undoubtedly the type. 



2. Port Denison (Fitzalan). Specimen marked " Eucalyptus drepanophylla " 

 by Mueller. Buds and anthers of this were figured as E. leptophleba, PI. 48, fig. 4. 

 (Mueller has a note : — " The tree from Port Denison, alluded to under E. Bowmani 

 by Bentham in B.FL, iii. 220. belongs to E. drepanophylla.'' (Eucalyptogrophia, 

 under E. Bailey ana.) 



3. " Eucalyptus drepanophylla Ferd. Mueller. Burdekin Expedition. Euc. 

 crehra var." (Copy of a label in Mueller's handwriting, seen l)y Bentham.) 



Mount Elliott (south-west of Bowling Green Bay) in flower only (Fitzalan) ; 

 {E. drepanophylla, so labelled by Mueller). This locality is a little nortli of Bowe)i. 



Ironbark, Charters Towers (H. B. Walker, 1903). These specimens, in mature 

 leaf, buds and flowers, with a piece of bark, appear to be E. drepa.nophylla. This locality 

 is only a few miles inland from Bowen, liome of the type. 



Cleveland Bay (Townsville), in l)ud, pale-coloured operculum (S. (?) (Stephen 

 Johnson, 1876); (labelled E. drejMnophylla hy MweWev). '" Narrow-leaved I ronl)ark," 

 Beid River, via Townsville. (Nicholas Daley and G. K. Skelton, througli Dr. .J. Shirley.) 



Near Atherton, l_)ack of Cairns (District H'orester H. W. Mocatta). 



Stannary Hills, near Irvinebank (Dr. T. L. Bancroft, 17th March, 1901, and 

 later dates. In June, 1909. Dr. Bancroft writes : " With rough l)ark, up to 100 feet 

 high and 2 feet in diameter ; timber red." He informs me that the late Mr. F. M. Bailey 

 named it E. crehra. This is the most nortlierly locality Icnown to me. 



Now let us go south from Bo won, tli.> tvpc locality, and we have : - 

 '■■ North Coast," R.Br., 1802-5, not in fruit, pale-coloured operculum; (probably 

 either Keppel Bay or Shoalwater Bay, as quoted in B.Fl.. iii, 221, under E. drepano- 



plujlla).
