RANGE. 



Type from Goongarrie, 65 miles north of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. 

 Collected also at Lannin's timber camp, then (1909) nearly 70 miles north of 



Kurrawansr. 



AFFINITIES. 



The precise position of this species cannot be stated in absence of anthers, 

 but I have spared no pains to endeavour to get flowers, and have failed. I have 

 followed the precedent of an eminent botanist (Bentham) in naming a eucalypt 

 {ccesia) in absence of flowers. 



1. With E. Le Souefii, Maiden. 



It possesses obvious external similarities to E. Le Sotiefii, but it would be 

 mere assumption to tack it on to that species as a variety, since the anthers might 

 belong to a different series. Its relation to E. goniantha, Turcz., is probably less 

 close. 



2. With E. ealyeogona, Turcz., var. celastroides, Maiden. 



When I found E. Clekm'H, I found another somewhat similar tree, E. 

 ealyeogona, var. celastroides, which is another of the numerous " Blackbutts." The 

 smooth bark of the former is more interlocked than that of the latter. For notes 

 on var. eelastroides, see Part III, p. 79, and discussion of further afiinities of E. 

 Clelandi must be postp.oned until flowers are available.
