g. \\ illiains River. Very glaiicous. Broad leaves. Coarse. (A. Rudder.) 

 r. Identical spécimens from uear Mudgee (W. Woolls). Spécimens 

 with plump glaiicoiis buds, Barrigan Ranges. (R. T. Baker). 

 s. Similar spécimens from Perth near Bathurst. (J, L. Boorman.) 



3. Yar. brevifolia Bentli. (B. FI. III, 242.) 



E. tereticornis var. amblycori/s F. v. M. (Herb, partim.) 



« From most exposed parts of moimtains, 1200-2000' : A straggling 

 tree 20-30' with very smooth white bark separating in thin scabs ». 

 New England (C. Stuart, n° 127). 



Another spécimen (n° 308) with larger and more poiuted leaves and 

 larger buds but of the same shape, labelled by C. Stuart. « A large tree 

 but frequently flowering very young ». The above are type spécimens. 



M" J. L. Boorman has also coUected this variety in New England at 

 Emmaville and Jenniugs (New South Wales-Queensland border). The 

 spécimens are typical and are the first I hâve seen in fruit. The valves 

 are awl-shaped and much protruded. 



I hâve coUected spécimens under the name of « Orange Gum » from 

 Port Macquarie, on the northern New South Wales coast. A note on 

 the subject will be found in Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. 1899, p. 467, 

 where it is shown that the « Orange Gum » is intermediate in character 

 between var. brevifolia and normal E. tereticornis. 



4. Yar. squamosa var. nov. 



Synonyms : Eucalyptus squamosa Deane and Maiden. Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N. S. W. 1897, p. 561. Ibid., 1900, p. 629. 



E. tereticornis Sm. var. spheerocalyx F. v. M. Herb. 



E. tereticornis Sm. var. amblycorys F. v, j\I. Herb, (partim). 



E. viminalis Benth. non Labill. (Included under this species in B. FI. HI, 

 240 and distributed to a number of herbaria under that name). It well 

 answers the descriptions of spécimens coUected by Caley, « with a hemi- 

 spherical calyx-tube, and broad, almost globular operculum ». (B. FI. HI, 

 240.) I hâve, however, not seen Cayley's spécimens. 



I am of opinion that this is an extreme form of E. tereticornis Sm. It 

 is certainly the most distinct form we hâve in the Sydney district and 

 for many miles distant. I propose the name squamosa for this variety. 



Its closest affinity is with var. brevifolia and it will be obscrved that 

 Mueller called both varieties var. amblycorys on herbarium labels at 

 différent times, but the fruits and opercula separate them readily. 



E. tereticornis is one of the most variable of our Eucalypts, it has 

 an extensive i-ange and exhibits much variation in its operculum, which
