Vernacular Names.— A " Peppermint," or " Narrow-leaved Peppermint." " Grey Peppermint " 

 (H. Deane). 



Bark and Timber similar to normal form. 



Juvenile Foliage. — Has crenulated margins like the normal form, but longer, narrower, and 

 more pointed leaves. Some of tho very young foliage is linear-lanceolate, and even linear. 



A good deal of the young foliage reminds one superficially of that of the Wilga (Gcijera 

 jjarvijlora). 



Alternate, not opposite like E. Siuartiana. 



Mature Foliage. — Linear-lanceolate or lanceolate, the average dimensions being, say, 5 x § inch. 



Fruits. — Smaller than (hose of the normal form, reminding one of those of E. mkrolhcca, hut the 

 calyx less hemispherical. Valves well exserted. Pedicels, on the average, as long as the fruits; the 

 common peduncle also much longer than that of the normal form. 



RANGE. 



New England, New South Wales. — I have personally collected it from 

 Yarrowitch to Walcha, and Mr. Henry Deane near Glen Innes. It also occurs in the 

 Armidale district. On slate formation at Enrnore, head waters of Macleay Eiver, 

 18 miles east of Uralla (R, H. Cambage, No. 3,780). Swamp Oak (E. H. E. Swain), 

 hut specimens not perfect, and therefore a little doubtful.
