South Australia. — " Box,"' Tall tree near Gorge, on Wirrabara side. (Prof. 

 J. B. 01 eland.. Xo. 82). 



Victoria. — Stawell (J. Staer). Mi H. Hopkins, a competent observer, of 

 Bairnsdale. Gippsland. in " The Advance Australia," September, 1909, has the following 

 note, which I think refers to E. microcarpa : — " Grey Box is also a lowland species, 

 rarely, if ever, ascending more than 400 or 500 feet above sea-level, generally npon 

 alluvial flats or limestone formations." 



New South Wales. — " Grows up to a height of 80 feet, I should say, timber rather 

 straight as a rule, the smooth bark on the top of a reddish brown," Bynya, Barellan 

 (W. Burke). 



AFFINITIES. 



1 and 2. With E. hemiphloia F.v.M. and E. albens Miq. 



See Part XI, p. 19. The only species with whose affinities we are concerned at 

 the present time are the above. These are compared and contrasted at p. 443. Like 

 the other species, E. microcarpa has often coarse leaves. Sometimes a twig of a large- 

 fruited E. microcarpa and a small-fruited E. hemiphloia are hard to distinguish unless 

 juvenile leaves are present.
