RANGE. 



Neither E. umbra nor E. acmenioides has been found south of the Port Jackson distrxt 

 so far. In Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxv, 687, Mr. Cambage is quoted as having found 

 E. umbra at Milton. That gentleman informs me that the Milton tree is the species 

 afterwards named E. Consideniana by me. 



I have no typical umbra further north than Wyee (and even that is doubtful), 

 so that this form may be looked upon as a very local one, simply occurring between 

 Port Jackson and the Hunter. Mr. Baker {Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxv, 687) quotes 

 Wardell, Dundoon (Dunoon), and Tumbulgum; Peat's Ferry, Cowan Creek, Eas.wood, 

 and Military Road (Sydney); Tinonee, GosforJ, and Milton. Op. cit. xxxi, 304, the 

 Wardell and Dunoon specimens have been referred to E. carnea by Mr. Baker, and in 

 view of my notes on specimens, perhaps some other reputed umbra sjaecimens should 

 be transferred to carnea, so that the range of both forms requires revision. 



New South Wales. 

 Port Jackson District. — The type comes from Spit Road, Mosman's, Sydney. It 

 is common about Middle Harbour. A specimen from south side of Spit, Middle Harbour 

 (J. H. Camfield, July, 1897), has juvenile foliage indistinguishable by me from that of 

 E. acmenioides. 



Broken Bay District. — (Broken Bay is the mouth of the Hawkesbury, and is an 

 estuary between Port Jackson and the Hunter River). 



Near Peat's Ferry (H. Deane). The fruits and leaves arc typical for umbra, but 

 the buds equally those of typical acmenioides. 



Newport (R. H. Cambage). Some .of the juvenile leaves very broad, but all 

 rather thin, and paler on the underside. Mr. Cambage and I found it fruiting as a dense 

 scrub of 3-4 feet high on the summit of First Point, Kincumber. 



" Stringybark. A large tree, bark not furrowed, outside very fibrous." Woy 

 Woy (A. Murphy, 8/98); "White Mahogany, mountain variety." Woy Woy (A. 

 Murphy, 9/04); Gosford (John Martin). 



AFFINITIES. 



As I am uncertain as to the specific differences of E. acmenioides and E. umbra, it will 

 be convenient to deal with their affinities under one head. 



1. With E. pilularis, Sm. 

 Bentham (B.Fl. iii, 208) doubtfully made this a variety (? var. acmenioides) of 

 E. pilularis, stating that it sometimes seems to pass into the typical E. pilularis.
