RANGE. 



It is a tree of the coldest localities, occurring at considerable elevations in 

 Tasmania (the west central districts of Rodway), and on the very highest ones, in 

 contiguous districts, in Victoria and New South Wales. 



Tasmania. 



Following are the three type specimens quoted in the original description 

 examined by me. They are all from Tasmania of course. See Hooker's Fl. Tas. 



{a) Gunn's 1080-1842. " Marlborough, received as such by R. C. Gunn." To 

 this label has been added later, " Cider Tree, March. 1840." A specimen in 

 herb. Cant, ex herb. Lindl.. is in late flower, with neither buds nor fruits. 

 The stalks and foliage have a strong yellow cast. The calyces are glaucous. 



(b) Gunn's 1084. " Lake Arthur. A tree yielding rich cider. 18/2/43." 



The fruits riper and therefore more cylindrical than shown in Hooker's plate. 

 As regards the buds, some of them have pointed opereula as shown at Fig. 1 of the 

 plate; the others have blunt opereula as shown on the main figure. The buds and 

 fruits are alike glaucous. 



(c) Gunn's 1082. Collected by J. D. Hooker at Marlborough, 17th October, 1840. 



This agrees with the foregoing, and is, in addition to the two preceding, 

 quoted in Fl. Tas. i, 134. 



(d) Gunn's 1963. The sheet contains two specimens : — 



(1) "Foot of late Echo tree." (2) "Uncertain where collected." Both are 

 labelled in the handwriting of Hook. f. In herb. Syd. ex herb. Hook. 

 The fruit is more hemispherical in No. 1963 than in some of the other 

 specimens. 



(e) Gunn's 1075. 



Specimens other than Gunn's are : — 



(/) Western Mountains (W. H. Archer, January, 1848). 



(g) Great Western Mountains (L. Rodway). 



(h) Trees up to 80 feet, diameter 1-3 feet. Basaltic formation, 2,000 feet, Guildford 

 Junction, January, 1911 (R. H. Cambage, No. 2567). 



Victoria. 

 Summit of Mount Baw Baw (Mueller). Mentioned in B.F1. (iii, 247) as typical. 

 1 hnve seen the specimens examined by Bentham. The fruits have a slightly 

 domed rim. connecting with a very domed Mount St. Bernard form, which I have 

 attributed to E. rubida at page 119 below. The Mount Baw Baw specimens are 

 intermediate in character between the type and those from Mount St. Bernard, but all 

 are undoubtedly near the type of E. Gtmnii.
