With a Description of a New Species. 



By 



J. H. MAIDEN, I.S.O., F.R.S., F.L.S. 



[There have been added notes on specimens chiefly collected by Dr. H. I. 

 Jensen. Where not otherwise stated, the numbers and the references to the 

 plants are those of G. F. Hill.] 



(1) E. pruinosa, Schauer. 



446.— Lat. 18° 27', Long. 132°. 6th July, 1911. Tree 4 ft. 6 in. in 

 diameter. Leaves and fruits. 



566. — 20 miles south-west of Borroloola. 7th September, 1911. Leaves, 

 buds and flowers. The type came from the Gulf of Carpentaria (Ferdinand 

 Bauer), probably from the same class of country as No. 566. 



Roper River Flats (W. Baldwin Spencer, 1911). 



(See my Crit. Rev. Eucal., i., 74, for Northern Territory references). 



(2) E. gamophylla, F. v. M. 



223.-35 miles north-west of .Meyer's Hill. 2nd June, 1911. 



45.- — Henbury Station, Finke River. 9th March, 1911. Leaves and fruits. 

 In the absence of full material or details it is not always possible to dis- 

 tinguish this species from E. pruinosa, Schauer. 



(3) E. oleosa, F. v. M., var. glauca, Maiden (Crit. Rev. Eucal., ii., 167). 



241a.^ — 35 miles -north-west of Meyer's Hill. 2nd June, .1911. Broaidish 

 leaves and fruit. One small specimen. 



117. — Hugh River. 21st March, 1911. Stunted scrub on stony ridges. 

 Stem covered with long flakes of smooth bark. New bark brown colour. 



Both specimens have leaves broader than the type, especially No. 241a, 

 and hence show a transition to E. Gillii, Maiden. 



(4). E. pallidifolia, F. v. M.- 



556o.— Near Kiigour River. On Ranges. 2nd September, 1911. In 

 immatuse fruit. (See Crit. Rev. Eucal., iii., 29, for Northern Territory 

 references).
