 two species are sharply sejiarated by their anthers. 



HYBRIDISM. 



The Boxes seem to have a special tendency to hybridise with the Ironbarks. 



Mr. J. L. Boorman and I collected at jVEurrurundi, in May, 1902, specimens 

 ■which appear to be hybrids between E. sidcroxylon and E. melUodora. 



I have a different hybrid between the same species from the Inverell district 

 from Mr. Forest-Guard Gordon Burrow, both of which will l)e figured and described 

 when I deal with hybridism in this genus.
