2. E. Stuartiana F.v.M. var. longifolia Benth., in B.F1. iii, 244. 



" Yellow or Grey Gum and Bastard Box." WooUs in Herb. F.v.M. (Twofold 



Bay). 



" Turpentine Gum " or " Hiccory " Oldfield, F.v.M. 



In foliage and inflorescence this resembles in some measure E. virgata, but the 

 buds, anthers, and fruit are quite different. In " Eucalyptographia " this is given 

 as a synonym of E. punctata DC. 



It is, in my opinion, referable to E. ovata Labill. I have explained the matter 

 at p. 138 of Part XXVII of the present work. 



RANGE. 



It is confined to eastern New South Wales and Queensland. It is found in the 

 coast districts and main dividing range and spurs. The thirty-fifth parallel of South 

 Latitude is the most southerly range as far as we know at present. Northerly, it has 

 not been recorded much north of the Brisbane. In the west it occurs near the Jenolan 

 Caves and in the Mudgee district. It is usually a denizen of sandy or sterile sandstone 

 country. It has rarely been found at an elevation much exceeding 2,000 feet.

The following were collected in the Parramatta district by Sir Joseph Banks' 

 Collector :— 



1. " 'Mundowey,' February, 1805, picked up on the North Rocks" (G. Caley). 



2. " Mundowey, operculum awl-shaped, 11th February, 1807 " (G. Caley). 



3. " Adjoining Salter's Farm, 9th February, 1807 " (G. Caley). 

 [One of the specimens was labelled E. botryoides, var. conica. 



I have referred to this at p. 51, Part XXIII of the present work, and attributed 

 the form to E. saligna Sm. 



The present specimen is E. punctata DC, as stated.]
