Its Queensland aboriginal name is " Yapvmyah," but its common name in 

 western New South Wales and Queensland is "Yellow Jacket," owing to the 

 colour of its bark. 



Its wood is of a brownish colour, hard, heavy, and close-grained, and it is 

 said to attain a height of about 50 feet. 



The leaves resemble in a marked manner those of the more coriaceous forms 

 of E. calycogona, and particularly the Kameruka specimens. But the buds are less 

 blunt and less angled than those of E. calycogona. The fruits of E. ochrophloia, 

 while angled, are not so much so as those of E. calycogona ; they are also more 

 slender and tapering, with a rim at the top, though this last character is sometimes 

 seen in E. calycogona, e.g., F. Reader's Wimmera, Victoria, specimens. 



E. ochrophloia, as regards buds and fruits, might be looked upon as a coarse 

 form of E. calycogona, var. (?) Thozetiana. The leaves of the latter are much more 

 narrow than those of the former usually are. With narrow-leaved forms of E. 

 ochrophloia {e.g.), some from Thargomindah, which show but little venation, the 

 resemblance of such leaves to those of var. (?) Thozetiana is so great as to be worthy 

 of note. 



E. ochrophloia differs from incrassata in the leaves, which, although very 

 thick and shiny as in the latter species, have more marked venation, the spreading 

 veins and intramarginal vein (at some distance from the edge) being alike 

 conspicuous. 



I trust that more evidence will be forthcoming both as regards E. ochrophloia 

 and E. calycogona, var. (?) Thozetiana. We want herbarium specimens from more 

 localities than we have at present, and we require notes on, and specimens of, the 

 bark and timber and other particulars, in order that a final judgment may be 

 pronounced. 



2. E. salmonophloia, F.v.M. — It is worthy of note that specimens in bud or 

 with undeveloped fruits of this species may very pardonably be confused with E. 

 calycogona, var. gracilis. 



The notes concerning the following species, which are in italics, are taken 

 from Mueller's " Eucalyptographia," under E. gracilis, except No. 3, w^hicb is 

 under E. fcecuncla. Whore gracilis is given E. calycogona var. gracilis should 

 be road, and Mueller's references were doubtless given with that variety in mind. 

 Typical E. calycogona could not be confused for a moment with any of the 

 species named.
