3. E. gracilis, Sieb., ex Bentb., B.ri. iii, 222. 



To this form (specimens of E. crebra from New England^l appear to belong also Sieber's specimens 

 of E. gracilis, PL Exs. No. 476, referred by De Candolle to E. hcemastoma, but very diflerent from Smith's 

 plant of that name. They are in young bud and in fruit. 



I bave examined tbe specimen in Herb. Kew on wbicb Bentbam based tbe 

 above remarks. It is in yonng bud, as stated, and has but one fruit, not quite ripe. 

 I bave since been able to examine better specimens of Sieber's No. 476 (notably 

 those in the Vienna Herbarium), and believe that Bentham's view is a correct one, 

 and that it is correctly referred to B. crehra, P.v.M. 



At tlie same time I desire to emphasise the fact that herbarium specimens in 

 mature leaf and half -ripe bud of B. crehra, are very difficult to discriminate between 

 those of E. hcemastoma var. micrantha. 



Indeed, I do not attach much importance to Sieber's No. 476. Tliey are 

 incomplete ; perhaps they are mixed. 



4. E. angustifolia, Woolls. 



Description . — E. avcjusli folia is regarded as a variety of E. panindata, but the workmen, judging 

 only from the wood, call it a distinct .=!pecies, by the name of the Narrow-leaved Ironbark. (Lect. Veg. 

 Kingd., 123.) 



This is E. crehra, P.v.M., according to Mueller (Eucali/ptograpMa), It is 

 found in the Grose Vale and Lower Kurrajong', and I collected it there as directed 

 by Dr. Woolls himself.

RANGE. 



The type was apparently from no specific locality, but I'rom the area between the 

 Newcastle Range to Moreton Bay, both in Queensland, say from the Etheridge 

 River, in 18' N. lat. and 143° east longitude, to the Brisbane. 



It is confined to New South Wales and Queensland, so far as we know at 

 present. 



QUEENSL.IND. 



A specimen received fi'om Kew, and examined by Bentbam for the Flora 

 Australiensis, bears the following label in Mueller's handwriting, " Encali/pftis 

 crebra,~Fevdi.M.uG[\ei: Ironbark tree. Burdekin River. Dr.'M." This is probably 

 as near a type specimen as we shall get.
