"White); Port Lincoln: Goat Island, Y.P. : Kingscote and 

 American Beach, K.I. The fruits are often mealy-white 

 when fresh. 



E. bicolor, A. Cunn., ann. 1835 (E. largiflo?'ens, F. v. 

 M., aim. 1855). Mannum; Berri : Settlers' Bend: Renmark. 



E. Behriana, F. v. M. Nuriootpa (Dist. A). 



E. fasciculosa, F. v. M. Black Hill, near Adelaide: 

 Brownhill Creek : Torrens Gorge ; Bridgewater : Willunga : 

 National Park, Belair : Greenhill Road. A small straggling 

 tree, often with several bent stems (like a mallee) : outer bark 

 rough, brown, deciduous: inner bark smooth, white. For- 

 merly included in E . paniculata, Smith, which is an erect tree 

 ■of New South Wales and Queensland. E . fasciculosa is con- 

 fined to South Australia. 



E. hemiphloia, F. v. M. "Box Gum." Numerous about 

 Melrose and on the foothills of Mount Remarkable, where its 

 distribution extends down to the creek, so that it is often 

 found growing within a few yards of the Red Gum (E. 

 rostrata). In the field E. hemiphloia is distinguished by its 

 lofty stature, its usually straight and single stem, and its 

 light-brown bark, streaked longitudinally, but in the her- 

 barium it is often hard to separate from large-fruited forms 

 -of Peppermint Gum ( E. odorata). 



E. leucoxylon, F. v. M., var. pauperita, J. E. Brown. 

 "Scrubby Blue Gum." Hamilton; Kapunda : Nuriootpa: 

 near Gladstone and Beetaloo. 



E. incrassata, Labill., var. dumosa, Maiden (E. dumosa, 

 A. Cunn.) Probably the commonest mallee about Murat Bay 

 and north thereof: native name "gheelya." Grows 3 to 8 

 m. high; bark smooth and white except at base of tree, where 

 it is dark and rough : buds of the "egg-in-egg-cup" shape : 

 fruits small. Very near some forms of E. oleosa, but the 

 anthers oblong with parallel cells. Also at Kingscote, K.I. 

 Var. conglobata, Maiden. Port Lincoln. A small tree with 

 very thick, stiff, broad leaves. Var. angulosa, F. v. M. Port 

 Vincent; Edilillie : Arno Bay, with very large fruits, 17 mm. 

 long ; also in scrub between Murray Bridge and Monarto : 

 Square Waterhole : Renmark, Karoonda — the fruits in all 

 these latter places rather smaMer, 12-13 mm. long. In the 

 Cis-Murray scrub this is a "dwarf mallee," 3 to 5 m. high, 

 distinguished from other neighbouring species of similar 

 height and appearance by the smooth bark of the stem, which 

 peels off and hangs down in long strips on the ground. In 

 the Trans-Murray scrub (at Karoonda) it is a small "whip- 

 stick mallee," rarely exceeding 2 m. in height, with the bark 

 peeling at the base of the stem in the same way.
