2. Urceolate shape of fruit, and well-defined rim in immature fruits (see 



figures 11 and 22, Plate 50). 



3. Angularity of the fruit, usually a sign of immaturity (see figures 17 and 21b, 



Plate 50, and 2, Plate 51). 



4. Variation in the size of the fruits, even on the same tree. 



5. Paniculate inflorescence (see figures 9 and ^Oa, Plate 50). 



6. Bracts, or double opercula. 



7. Valves of fruit much sunk. 



RANGE. 



MuKLLER did not originally publish a locality for his type. 



Bentham (B.Pl. iii, 217), doubtless guided by Mueller, gives the following 

 localities : — 



Parramatta, iSew Sovith Wales, "Box-tree" (Woolls) ; Moreton Bay, 

 Queensland, "Box-tree" (P. Mueller). 



Specimens from these localities precisely tally with the form figured by 

 Mueller as hemiphloia in his " Eucalyptographia," and I think we can accept his 

 figure as representing the type without any dovibt. 



Bentham adds the South Australian localities (all of which I have visited for 

 the purpose of Eucalyptus investigation), Memory Cove and Kangaroo Island 

 (R. Brown) ; Port Lincoln (Wilhelmi). There is no form of hemiphloia there; at all 

 events, diligent search on my part failed to find any, but that plant which I have 

 named E. odorata, var. purpurascens (see p. 29), and Avhich was referred to as 

 E. hemiphloia by Mueller, is abundant, and this is doubtless the " hemiphloia " 

 referred to by Bentham. 



I do not know of any South Australian locality for the typical form of 

 M. hemiphloia. Victorian specimens, in their variety microcarpa, closely approach 

 the normal form ; indeed, some specimens from Sheepwash, Bendigo, can scarcely 

 be separated from the Parramatta, or normal form, specimens. The typical form 

 appears to be, however, mostly confined to eastern New South Wales and Queensland, 

 but further collecting is necessary yet. 



New South Wales. 

 Rhodes, Sydney (H. Deano) ; the southern suburbs of Sydney generally; 

 Bankstown (R. H. Cambage) ; Bankstown and Cabramatta (J. L. Boorman) ; 

 Parramatta (Dr. Woolls), a type locality ; Campbelltown (J. V. Alkin) ; Narellan 

 (J. Mitchell) ; Pitt Town Settlement (J. V. de Coque) ; Windsor (J. S. Allan) ; 

 Blacktown (R. T. Baker).
