XLVIL E. Thozetiana. F.v.M. 



In Part III, p. S2 (see also figs. C-F, Plate 11) of this work I siiggested that 

 this miarht be looked upon as a variety of JE. gracilis, P.v.lM. {E. calycogonn, Turcz.) 



Since then, in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxxi, 305, with plate xxiv (1906), 

 Mr. R. T. Baker has adopted the view of Mueller that the plant might be a distinct 

 species {E. Thozetiana, F.v.M.). His description of the tree should be referred tc 

 Whether it is a species or a variety (of E. calycogona, Turcz., or perhaps of E. 

 ochrophloia, F.v.M.) is not yet settled, in my mind, but it is found at such distant 

 localities from either Sydney or Brisbane, that one is largely dependent on second- 

 hand sources of information concerning it. 



Mr. C. W. Chapman told me that his " Yapnnyah " (not E. oclirophloia, of 

 which there is none on his station, Newinga, so far as he knows) is like a Mallee, 

 but he does not believe it has the bulbous stock of a Mallee. The average size of the 

 stems is a diameter of 7-8 inches, with a length of 2.5 feet (as poles drawn into the 

 station), so that the length may be fairly put at 30 feet. The colour of the timber 

 is brown or black-brown, not red. 



Vernacular ISame. — Mr. C. W. Chapman (to whom I was introduced by 

 Mr. R. T. Baker) says that " Yapnnyah " is the spelling on his station (Newinga), 

 but that it is called " Napunyah " on the adjacent station. 



I have noticed a similar use of the two names in regard to E. ochrophloia, 

 and the well-known case of Yarran and Narran* which I took considerable pains to 

 attempt to clear up, may be referred to in this connection. 



SYNONYMS. 



1. E. gracilis, F.v.M., var. Thozetiana, F.v.M., in '^Eucalyptographia." 



2. E. calycogonn, Turcz., var. Thozetiana, Maiden, p. 82, vol. I of this work. 



RANGE. 



See the localities given at p. 82, Part III of this work. 



Mr. C. W. Chapman states that it is plentiful at Newinga Station, 65 miles 

 west of Goondiwindi, on the St. George's road from Goondiwindi. He believes it 

 also occurs at Tandawanna Station, 40 miles west of Goondiwindi. These are all 

 Queensland localities, but at no very great distance from the New South Wales 

 border.
