9. E. lu/dd-Bai/ Nalidin, is E. tereticornis according to spécimens 

 received from MM. Vilmorin, Andrieux & C" of Paris and from M'" J. 

 Burtt Davy of IVM'kolcy, California. 



VARIEÏIES 



1. Var. latifolia Benth. 



2. Var. dealbata Deane and Maiden. 



3. Var. brevifolia Benth. 



4. Var. squamosa var. nov. 



O Bentham (B. FI. III, 241) refers to a variety hrevirostris, which 

 I hâve not seen. I présume it will be found to be identical with the 

 interior forms with blunt operculum referred to at p. 582 (14). A variety 

 hrevirostris, Mueller, of E. longirostris (rostrata) will be found refe- 

 rred to under E. longirostris. 



1. Var. latifolia Benth. (B. FI. III, 242). E. cimicina R. Br. Mss. 

 herb. Brit. Mus. etc. 



« Leaves ovate to lanceolate. Flowers with a strong cimicine smell ». 

 I hâve seen a broadleaved, ovoid budded tereticornis from Shoalwater 

 Bay, which is typical of this variety. ïhere is a note on this form in 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. 1899, p. 469. 



The peculiar odour is not confined to this variety; the name « Stin- 

 king Gum » is applied to this species because of the peculiar sour, sickly, 

 offensive smell of its flowers. It Howers freely and hence the odour is 

 marked. This smell is observable in the Sydney district, alongthe north 

 coast, and at the foot of the tablelands. It is probably widely dift'used 

 in the species, but few records appear to hâve been made in regard to 

 the odour in question. 



It is generally supposed that an important différence between E. tere- 

 ticornis and E. rostrata lies in the fact that the former fréquents dry 

 and the latter moist situations. This is only partially true, for in New 

 South Wales there is a form with broad leaves and small flowers and 

 fruits which is found over enormous areas in swampy situations, and is 

 hence sometimes called « Swamp Gum ». It could be fitly called variety 

 latifolia, but it only resembles Bentham's variety of that name in its 

 broad leaves, the buds and fruits being more dissimilar to R. Brown's 

 Shoalwater Bay spécimens than to the normal species.
