5. E. perfoliata, Desf. {Cat. Hort. Far., e:!. iii, 408), '■' very doubtful" 



(Bentham), is probably E. globulus, Labill. 



6. E. perfoliata, Noisette. Is described in Steudel's Nomenclator hotunicus 



cd. i, 1821, but is uomen nudum. 

 The reference is " 'perJoUata^' lsois.—(/laiica. It is quoted as a synonjm of 

 U. fflauca, DC. in LC. Prod, iii, 221. 



7. E. pulverulenta Link's Enum. p. 31 is also quoted as a synonym of E. fflauca, 



DC, in the same place. 

 The seed of E. fflobulus has been exported to Europe for very many years, 

 and the above species arose through the practice of the early botanists, who named 

 Eucalypts from plants in the seedling stage. 



RANGE. 



Originally discovered in Tasmania, it has been found to occur pretty exten- 

 sively in Victoria, and it is by no means rare in New South Wales, chiefly in southern 

 alpine regions. A favourite tree for planting, it now often occurs even in South and 

 Western Australia and Southern Queensland, but it is not indigenous there. As 

 regards Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, it is important for observers to 

 carefully distinguish between localities in which it is planted and those in which it 

 is spontaneous. 



Tasmania. 



It is fairly well diffused over many parts of the island, except in the west. 

 It is more common in the south than in the north. 



The following Tasraanian specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney, have 

 historical associations : — 



Adventure Bay, the locality visited in January, 1777, on Cook's Third Voyage, 

 by David Nelson and Mr. Anderson, Surgeon of H.M S. " llesolution," Avho here 

 collected the first Eucalyptus. (J. H.M.) 



R. Brown, Iter Australiense, 1802-5 (probably Hobart). 



Port Arthur, visited by Backhouse and other botanists. (J. H.M.) 



Hobart (Gunn's No. 1070). 



Elinders' Island (Gunn's No. 1070 and ,1. Milligan's No. 658). 



Victoria. 



This tree grows pleiilifully in parts of Gippslaiid, foi- instance, from Neerini .southwards through 

 Poowong to Jumbunna and westwards to Currajong. It is found on the north eastern shores of Lake 

 King, at Lake Tyers in the Cunningham State Forest, at Apollo Bay and many other places, but I cannot 

 now recall any Stnte Forest where it is founds exempting th^t at Cunninghame, It is found also in t^s
