points out that this Mallee has a vertical s^rowth, — no drooping of the leaves, and 

 that it is very rare, only one patch having been seen in a journey of 140 miles from 

 Port Augusta. 



Grosse's Range, Central Australia (Revs. Schwarz and Schulze, ex herh. 

 Melb.). 



The type of E. turhinafa, Behr, comes from " Pine Forest across Salt's 

 Creek " (near Gawler), Dr. Behr. (Miq. Neil. Krnidk.) (ex herb. Melb.) 



Victoria. 



Swan Hill (Dr. Griffiths, ex herb. Melb.), with short operculum and narrow 

 leaves. Nyaah, Narrung, Euston, Mildura. " Variable in the size and shape of 

 the calyces more especially. Leaves sometiiiies becoming inclined to the narrow- 

 lanceolate form. Grows generally over sand-rises and plains alike." (W. S. 

 Brownscombe). Bumbang near Euston (J. Blackburne). 



As regards Victoria, it would appear to be confined to the vicinity of the 

 Murray River, so far as we know at present. 



New South Wales. 



I have it from the following localities in this State : — 



Abbott's Tank, near Balranald (C. J. McMaster) ; Lower Lachlan Rivei", two 

 specimens respectively, "Smooth-barked tree," " Rough-barked tree " (correspon- 

 dents of H. Deane) ; Condobolin (R. H. Cambage) ; Wyalong (H. Deane, J. G. 

 Postlethwaite) ; Coolabah and Girilambone with moderately narrow juvenile leaves

I shall be glad to receive specimens from other localities. 



Variety loilgicornis, F.v.M. 



Mueller labelled specimens from " Upper Swan River," " Morrel " and " E. 

 oleosa, var. longicornis." These match his figure 13, in his " Report on the Forest 

 Resources of Western Australia," exactly. 



Other specimens which match the figure very closely are : — 



Broome Hill, Great Southern Railway, " Poot " (Dr. A. Morrison, Louis 

 Dillon, J.H.M.). 



" Morrel," Quairading, H. St. B. More (communicated by O. H. Sargent 

 under his No. 71S). 



Carnamah, Victoria District (Dr. A. Morrison) ; Coolgardie (L. G. Webster). 



Specimens with fruit of a tree with narrow leaves and shorter peduncles and 

 .pedicels than the type, from Cowcowing (Max Koch), appear to be referable to this 

 form. (See fig. 4, PI. 66.) 



Imperfect specimens with nearly sessile fruits, " Blackbutt, tall tree forming 

 forests " are related to this variety (No. 5,454, L. Diels).
