Some of the fruits of the Woodburn specimen have the rim broadening a little, 

 like the Stroud specimens. The Wardell specimens have all of them thin rims, but 

 thin-rimmed fruits of this kind are with broader-rimmed fruits on the same tree and on 

 the same twig. I call both of these specimens thick-leaved acmenioides. 



Queensland. 



Nerang (F. M. Bailey). Typical acmenioides fruits, thick leaves like carnea. 



Ithaca Creek (F. M. Bailey). Rim just a little broadish arid tips of valves faintly 

 exserted, but fruits not quite ripe. Leaves thickish. This specimen seems to be from 

 a windfall ; perhaps that accounts for the absence of the pale underside of the leaves. 

 It is very close to typical acmenioides. 



" Yellow Stringybark : good for fencing, palings, &c." Maryborough (W. H. 

 Williams). Thick leaves, fiiiit with thin rims and very slightly urceolate. I call this 

 thick-leaved acmenioides. 



Black Downs Table-land, 100 miles west of Rockhampton, at an elevation of 

 2,400 feet (P. MacMahon, No. 8). Thick leaves, pear-shaped fruits ; is perhaps thick- 

 leaved acmenioides. 



" Stringybark tree of Rockingham Bay " (J. Dallachy, ex herb. Melb.). Leaves 

 thickish, not paler on the underside (perhaps because of the age of the specimen — 40 

 years). Fruits thin-rimmed, more urceolate, and with the valves more exsert than in 

 any specimen of E. acmenioides I have ever seen. That this is really identical with 

 Murphy's Rockhampton specimens I do not think that anyone who has compared 

 them will doubt, but I must keep them apart, because these particular specimens have 

 thickish leaves, and I cannot detect the pale underside.
