Its name of " Flooded Gum " indicates the low-lying localities in which it may 

 often be found. 



In Victoria it principally occurs in Gippsland, but it extends to the Melbourne 

 district and further west and south. 



In South Australia it is found in the Mount Lofty Range, and further localities 

 other than those indicated should be sought for. 



As regards Tasmania it is recorded from the eastern part of the island, and its 

 range requires further investigation. 



New South Wales. 



Southern Localities.— Bole and linibs very white as if whitewashed. Pirich (sic) 

 Swamp Creek on road from Tubbut (V.) to Delegate, N.S.W. (A. W. Howitt); between 

 Delegate (N.S.W.) and Bonang (V.) (W. Forsyth). 



Delegate (W. Baeuerlen). Two specimens (1) marked ** smooth bark." and (2) 

 " with the rounded juvenile leaves," were labelled by Mueller E. viminalis &nd E. Stuart- 

 iaiia respectively, and these determinations are very instructive. The species, especially 

 when mature leaves only are available, cannot, in the present state of our knowledge, 

 be distinguished from E. viminalis, while the juvenile leaves resemble those of 

 E. Stuartiana a good deal. Near Delegate Hill, also Merambego (W. Forsyth) ; 

 Brown's Camp, Delegate (W. Baeuerlen); Mt. Kosciusko, up to 5,500 feet (J.H.M.); 

 Jindabyne, the type (J.H.M.) ; Wollandiby, Jindabyne (W. Baeuerlen) ; " Manna 

 Gum," Boloco, Dalgety (A. M. N. Rose) ; called " Spotted Gum " at Dalgety, Snowy 

 River (A. W. Howitt), a term more commonly applied to E. maculosa. Dr. Howitt : 6 

 specimens of juvenile foliage are as narrow as those of E. maculosa ever are. 



Following is the reference in Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv (1856), 126 :— " 8. Eucalyptus 

 Gunnii J. D. Hook., Loud. Journ. Bot. iii, p. 499. Strzlecki Range (F. Mueller). Forma 

 normalis exstat et alia abludens umbellis 5-floris." I have seen the specimen in Herb. 

 Kew ; it has four flowers. It is E. rubida. 



Yellowish smooth bark, a little ribbony, Delegate to Bombala (J.H.M.) ; Quiedong, 

 Bombala (W. Baeuerlen); Bombala (J.H.M.). Mr. Ronald Campbell, of Cambalong, 

 says it is the common " Spotted Gum " of the Monaro. It is an entirely valueless 

 timber. It usually has a clean stem for a considerable distance up. I was informed 

 that 6tock are very fond of the leaves; collateral evidence of its affinity to E. Ghmnii. 



Ximitybelle (J.H.M.); Kybean, north-east of Nimitybelle (R. H. Cambage, 

 No. 2018). 



Juvenile leaves oval and also lanceolate, Cooma (.). L. Boorman). On gneiss 

 formation, Cooma (R. H. Cambage, No. 1834); bark smooth on the branches, often 

 pale pink, Adaminaby to Cooma (E. Betche). " Spotted Gum," Yarrangobilly (W. W. 

 Gillespie); Yarrangobilly Plateau (A. \V. Howitt); Laurel Hill. Tumberumba (R. H.
