E. cuQenioides does not appear to go further west than Jenolan Caves and 

 Mudgee. 



" Bastard Stringybark " (Penrith : J. L. Boorman, January, 1900). I desire 

 to invite attention to an interesting form of this species. The fruits are smaller 

 than is usual and nearly globular. They are on nearly filiform pedicels of about 

 2 lines ; the common peduncle is twice that length, and more. The bark is harder 

 and denser (less stringy) than those of the normal species — more "bark bound "; a 

 character also noted under E. capitellata. Perhaps hybridism is indicated in this 

 case. The plant is indubitably E. evgenioides, though, from examination of the 

 fruits alone, it might reasonably be supposed to be E. hcr^mastoma, var. micrantha. 



Northern Localities. — ]\rost of the nortlieru specimens have the rims red and 

 prominent, and the valves slightly exsert. 



" Good timber, cut for sleepers. Yellow inner bark, between the rough and 

 the inner bark ; the fibrous portion very tough." Wyee (A Mui'phy). The fruits 

 arc slightly constricted, and in heads; the filaments turn brownish-red on drying. 



Stringybark, free splitting ; bark between sap and outside yellow. St. Aiban's 

 district, Hawkesbury River (A. Murphy). Transit to E. Mitelleriana. 



Wallsend (W. W. Froggatt). — Pruits rather small, rim red and conspicuous, 

 valves slightly exsert, leaves broadish (?) ; Booral (A. Rudder, No. 4) ; Wallsend 

 (J. L. Boorman) ; Booral (A, Rudder, A. 29). 



" Stringybark, height about 60 ft., diam. 18 in., mould over shale," near 

 Underbank, Upper Williams River (A. Rudder, G. 10). 



Pokolbin, No. 1,486, R. H. Cambage. Near to E. jrilkiiisoniaiui, R. T. 

 Baker.

 Mountain, Gloucester (.J.U.M.) ; Upper Hastings River; cutting near Yeldham's. 

 Fruits slightly exsert and rim pronounced (J.U.M.) ; Macleay River (Forester 

 W. Macdonald). 



Murrurundi (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). Valves slightly exsert, rim 

 broadish, hemispherical, slightly depressed, with short filiform pedicels, connecting 

 with the " Bastard Stringybark " of Penrith. 



Collaroy (J.IT.IM. and J. L. Boorman), showing white dots and a slight 

 ribbing of the fruits. 



Near Cemetery, Tingha (R. H. Cambage) ; Avith fruits a little more sub- 

 cylindrical and perhaps a little more domed than the type. Specimens from the 

 same locality with neai-ly pilular fruits and very narrow juvenile foliage.

 narrower leaves than tlic type.
