New South Wales. 

 Southern Localities. — Twofold Bay (J.II.M.), Wyndliam and Bcmbooka 

 (A. W. Howitt) ; Conjola, near Milton, with very long opcrcula (W. Ileron) ; south 

 of Nowra, from Jervis Bay (J.H.M.) ; Shoalhaven River, also Diggers' Creek 

 (W. Eorsyth and A. A. Hamilton), with filiform pedicels; Ivangaloon (J. L. Bruce) ; 

 Barber's Creek (H. J. Rumsey) ; Wingello (J. L. Boorraan), mediu.m trees, detected 

 by short leaves and absence of glaucous tint. " Bed Striugybark," in contra- 

 distinction to "White Stringybark" [E. capitellata),^YQNQV^?i\ of this nomenclature 

 being more common in other parts of New South Wales. A second collector 

 (A. Murphy) confirms Mr. Boorman's report of the local nomenclature. 



Berrima (see notes under E. capitellata). 



The Peaks, Burragorang (R. H. Cambage), Kangaroo Valley and Bowral to 

 Bullio (J.H.M. and R. H. Cambage). These specimens are indistinguishable from 

 Sieber's type of E. acercuta, No. 469, but are eiigenioides, showing transit to one of 

 the forms included by Mr. Baker in his Wilkinson iana. 



Hilltop, Avitli specially marked white-dotted fruits and elongated opcrcula 

 (J.H.M.). 



Sydney district, common on the Wianamatta shale, but also found on sand- 

 stone. Following are some Sydney district localities : — Homebush (J.H.M.) ; 

 Concord Park (R. H. Cambage) ; Bankstowu and Cabramatta (J. L. Boorman) ; 

 Hurstville (R. H. Cambage), the valves sunk; La Peroiise (W. W. Proggatt) ; 

 Peat's Road (H. Deane) ; Newport (R. H, Cambage). 



Some trees found by J. J. Pletcher at Gladesville, photographed by R. H, 

 Cambage, and examined by all tlii'ee of lis, have a flaky bark (somewhat like E. 

 resinij'era) , than that of a true Stringybark ; probably showing hybridism. 



' Western Localilies, — To the foot of the Blue Mountains from Sydney, it is 



rather common. It is the commonest Stringybark on the Blue Mountains, occurring 

 all over the range, and at all heights. Comj)ared with the other rather common 

 Blue Mountain Stringybark {E. capitellata), the timber is redder (!) The juvenile 

 foliage is narrower, and not glaucous, like that of E. capitellata. The fruits of E. 

 eiigenioides on the Blue Mountains are not often exsert; instances to the contrary 

 are Springwood (H. Deane) ; Mount Wilson (Jesse Gregson), with inner bark very 

 yellow. 



Jenolan Caves (W. P. Blakely). Collector's note: — "The bark of these 

 trees is of a light reddish colour on the inside ; the outside is of a dirty grey colour, 

 or weather-beaten, and is very ridgy ; the ridges run out to nothing as they approach 

 the top of the tree. The bark is of the same colour from the bottom to the topmost 

 branch, and is of a rather rough nature." 



At Capertee (J. L. Boorman) and Mudgee (Dist. Porester C. Marriott) it is 

 known as " White Stringybark."
