Supposed Variety. 



Theso-cal led variety " with the ovary more conical in the centre and the oper- 

 culum shortly beaked, Patcrson's River, " Blue Gum," Herb. R. Brown:' (B.F1. iii, 

 229, under E. hotryoides) is E. saligna. 



I have already referred to spociniens {eg., Green Point, Gosford, N.S.W.) 

 with very pointed opercula, and in other respects differing from the type, hut it dees 

 not seem worth while to name these as a variety. 



Hybridism. — This is a species which undoubtedly cross pollinates with other 

 species, and these forms will he dealt with when the general question of hybridism 

 in the genus is taken up. 



RANGE. 



It is confined to eastern and south-eastern Australia, not occurring far from 

 the sea. The type was described from Port Jackson. It occurs from coastal 

 Gippsland (Victoria), and along the New South Wales coast for about 150 miles 

 north of Port Jackson, and very doubtfully to South Queensland. I have not seen 

 undoubted specimens of the species from the northern State, and it should not be 

 included in the Queensland flora without proper evidence. The confusion wh : ch 

 has arisen between it and E. saligna is referred to at page 5'3. 



" Probably it does not extend into Queensland, as the Blue Gum tree 

 mentioned from thence is referable to a species of the scries of LeiopUloise, probably 

 E. saligna" (" Eucalyptographia " under E. boiryoides.) 



Victoria. 

 The following localities are all from Eastern Gippsland : — 

 " Mahogany Tree of Snowy River," Orbost (II. Hopkins) ; Lake Tyers 



(II. Hopkins); sea coast at Lake King (Mueller); Raymond Island, Lake King 



(II. Hopkins) ; Mctung (A. W. Howitt, J.H.M.). 



New South Wales. 



Southern Localities. — Woolly Butt," Milton (It. H. Cambagc, J. L. 

 Boonnan) ; Jervis Bay (J.H.M.). Some specimens with fruits nearly as large as 

 E. rohusta ; Banks of Yalwal Biver, near Shoalhaven (W. Forsyth and A. A. 

 Hamilton) ; Shoalhaven (W. Bacucrlcn) ; Jambcroo (J. II. Cain field) ; Wollongoug 

 (W. D. Francis); Coal Cliff Creek (II. Deane) ; Otford to Stan well Park (B. II. 

 Cambage and J.U.M.).
