SYNONYM. 



E. Woollsiana, R. T. Baker in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxv, 684 (1900), j3a;-^m; 

 the " Woollsiana No. 1 " of J. H. Maiden, ib., xxix, p. 764. 

 The name variety Woollmina has been adopted with the desire to com- 

 memorate the name of a man who well deserves this tribute, but I do not shut my 

 eyes to the fact that it is possible that its incautious use may lead to confusion, 

 since the variety TFoollsiana is not wholly synonymous with E. JVoollsiana, R. T. 

 Baker. See also E. hemiphloia, var. microcarpa, p. 17. 



RANGE. 



(Of species.) 



This is an interesting species, described from South Australian specimens 

 collected in 1847, and until a few years ago believed to be endemic to that State.* 

 Since then it has been traced into Victoria and extensively in New South Wales. 

 It is believed to occur in Queensland, and may yet be found in Western Australia. 



In the " Eucalyptographia," Mueller recorded it only for South Australia, 

 and doubtfully for Victoria ; in the " Second Census " he recorded it for South 

 Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales. 



The Type Form. 



South Australia. 



" No. 178. Eucalyptus odorata, Sud Australie, Dr. Behr, 1848." (Herb. 

 Barbey-Boissier.) A type specimen. 



" One of the common scrub (Adelaide) forms apparently referable to 

 E. odorata. This type is of a dull and bluish type of green, and fairly erect in its 

 general growth " (W. Gill). 



This is the common Adelaide scrub form of E. odorata, sometimes known as 

 "Black Mallee." "Of a dull and bluish type of green, and fairly erect in its 

 general growth " (W. Gill).' Leaves narrow, fruits in heads. 



" Peppermint," Adelaide (R. H. Cambage) ; Mt. Lofty Range (M. Koch) ; 

 National Park, near Adelaide (W. Gill) ; Frances, 20 miles south of Wolseley 

 (W. Gill). 



Light's Pass, S.A., venation, colour, and texture of leaves precisely similar 

 to that of Tomingley, N.S.W. 



* " E. odorata, from imperfect specimens forwarded to me, appears to exist on the Lachlan (N.S.W.)." "A 

 Contribution to the Flora of Australia." W. Woolls, p. 244 (1867). The clue was not, however, followed up at the time.
