List of Victorian Eucalypts, 79 



from Mr. Baker, which material more closely approximates to the 

 type of E. ovata than any I had previously received from him, 

 I have been unable to alter my carefully considered opinion of 

 1916. (1920). 



Concerning E. camphora, R. T. Baker, in C.R., Part XXVII., 

 p. 148, with Plate 115 (1916), I have suggested that this may 

 be a variety {camphora) of E. ovata, Labill. I have (1920) 

 again carefully gone over the ovata-camphora material, with the 

 view of re-establishing E. camphora if I could do so. I find, 

 however, that additional experience and specimens confirm the 

 opinions I expressed at p. 149 (he. cit.). I find long petioles 

 in both E. ovata and E. camphora, and think I have fairly stated 

 the position for and against species and variety. I know the 

 tree well, not only having observed it carefully in my Victorian 

 tour in 1900, but in New South Wales before and since. The 

 ** dwarf variety " of Gunnii of Howitt is stated by Mr. Baker to 

 be his E. camphora. At p. 150 (loc. cit.) I have stated that 

 Howitt's " dwarf variety (b) " is E. Kitsoni, Maiden, and that 

 the " Dwarf Highland form (d) " is E. neglecta, Maiden. No 

 other *' dwarf variety " is mentioned by Howitt so far as I know, 

 but the " tall mountain form (c) " is E. camphora, R. T. Baker, 

 as stated by me. 



44. E. Perriniana, F.v.M., non R.T.B. et H.G.S. 



I have stated the case in C.R., Part XXVI,. p. 103, with plate 

 108 (1916). 



45. E. piLULARis, Sm. 



See C.R., Part L, p. 38, Plate 1 (1903); F.F., Part XXXL, 

 Plate 116 (1908). 



Having re-examined the Victorian specimen that Mr. Baker 

 quotes on my authority (C.R., I., ZS) I withdraw it, believing 

 it to be E. Muelleriana, Howitt. It is, however, not quite satis- 

 factory. Professor Ewart informs me, on Mr. St. John's auth- 

 ority, that the specimen attributed to that gentleman was taken 

 from a tree growing in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. But 

 Professor Ewart also sends me, for examination, a specimen of 

 E. pilularis collected at National Park, Sealer's Cove, Wilson's 

 Promontory (J. W. Audas and P. R. H. St. John, 22nd October, 

 1909), which, although incomplete, is in my view sufficient to 

 validate record of the species as Victorian. Professor Ewart
