Yictoiiia. 



Lowland form (a) of E. Gwmii. — This form has been fully dealt with by Baron von Mueller, and 

 I have onlv to add that it occurs throughout the littoral country. In the damp climate of west and south- 

 western Gippsland it grows to a considerable height, say 150 feet with a straight clear bole, and was there 

 cut by saw-millers, in one instance at any rate, as " blue-gum." In central and eastern Gippsland it does 

 not grow to so great a height, but maintains its other characteristics. (Howitt, op. cit. p. 101.) 



Xot more than 20 feet high. The boles and limbs fairly smooth, except near 

 the ground. 



On sandy and clayey ridges at the beach on the western side of Lake Tyers where 

 it exits into the sea (A. W. Howitt). 



A dwarfish spreading tree locally called " White Gum." Rather common on 

 the flats and low-lying flooded land about the Thompson River around Sale (H. Hopkins).
