SYNONYM. 



E. cosrulescens, Naudin, 2nd Mem., p. 47. 



A label in Herb. Mus. Paris reads : — '^Eucalyphis cccrulescens, Naudin, du 

 Bois du Boulogne d' Alger, Eevrier, 1883. Type. Ecli. fructifere venant dc la Villa 

 Tliuret (Alpes Mar.)." In flower and fruit. A second label reads: "Encahiidus 

 coerulescens, Ndn., Villa Thuret, Nov., 1889. Ch. Ndn." In bud only. Tliey are 

 referable to E. melHodora, A. Cunn. 



I have received similar siiecimens from MM. Vilmorin, Andrieux, and Cie. 

 M. Naudin (2nd Mem.) recognised the affinity of this plant to E. melliodora, but lie 

 distinguishes E. ccendescens by the shorter leaves, " and perhaps better by its 

 general glaucescence." I may point out that E. nielliodora is often glaucous. 



a. E. pateiitijlora, Miq., quoted by Bentham (B.Fl. iii, 210) as a synonym of 



E. nielliodora, A. Cunn., is by Mueller {Fragm. ii, 01) stated to be E. 

 vimlnalis, Labill. 



b. " Eacalyplns radiata, SieJjer, vicinity of Hunter's River, New South Wales," 



in Wilkes' U.S. Exyl. Exped., 1838-42 (Botany, A.sa Gray, i, 558), No. 

 25,474, U.S. Nat. Herb., is E. melliodora, A. Cunn. 



RANGE. 



This species, very commonly known as " Yellow Box," but largely passing 

 under the name of " Yellow Jacket " in addition, occurs in Victoria, New South 

 Wales, and Queensland. 



As regards Victoria, the late Dr. A. W. Howitt informed me that it grows in 

 a scattered manner over almost the v/holeof that State, lowlands and highlands alike, 

 but nowhere exclusively as a forest. I fully expect to hear it recorded from South 

 Australia. 



Specific localities are now given for the first time for Queensland, and further 

 search requires to Ije made for it in that State.
