310 THE FLORA OF THE NOETHEEN TEBRITOBY. 



427. — " Salmon Gum.'' Dean's Camp, Burrundie (calciphobe hill). (Dr, 

 H. I. Jensen). 



341. — " Salmon Gum." " A Mallee type. Several trees frequently from 

 one root. Bark smooth, wliite to reddish, medium sized. Leaves drop off 

 in end of dry season except in very moist places." Burrundie. (Dr. H. I. 

 Jensen). 



404. — "Salmon Gum." "The Salmon and Poplar Gum are similar in 

 colour of bark, shape of leaf and, to a layman, in shape of fruit, but the Poplar 

 Gum is a large tree growing on moist flats, leaves and fruits invariably treble 

 the size of those of the Salmon Gum. Salmon Gum is crooked, small and Mallee- 

 like in habit. There is no gradation from one type to the other." 

 Umbrawarra. (Dr. H. I. Jensen). 



(13). E. grandifolia, B. Br. 



The type comes from the Northern Territory, and is broad-leaved. The 

 species may have narrower leaves. So little is known of the species that the 

 following notes in regard to specimens all collected by Dr. H. I. Jensen, except 

 two indicated, will be useful. 



Melville Island. Leaves of medium width. (Prof. W. Baldwin Spencer.) 



364. — " Small tree. Trunk rough up to first branches ; upper branches 

 smooth, whitish with few greyish blotches. Trees in front of Mines Office, 

 Darwin." Narrow leaves like 354. The specimen practically consists of the 

 voluminous compound unbels. 



342. — " Smalhsh tree. Rough bark on trunk and lower branches ; 

 branches smooth, white." Darwin. 



Dr. Jensen sends from Darwin a juvenile leaf which, in its dried state, is 

 16 inches long and 7| broad. 



353. — " Moreton Bay Ash. Rapid Creek, near Darwin (near coast)." 



354. — " Moreton Bay Ash." Rapid Creek. Leaves mostly narrow 

 lanceolate, and reminiscent of E. papuana, but with the inflorescence of E. 

 grandifolia. 



363. " White River Gum (so called locally). Large tree growing on flats 

 near creeks and river. Stem covered with scaly flakes near ground, say up to 

 2 feet from ground ; above that smooth, greyish or whitish bark." Howard 

 Creek, near Darwin. 



349. " Cabbage Gum. Rough bark like Bloodwood bark to top. 

 Associated with Moreton Bay Ash. Medium sized tree. Smooth, white- 

 barked specimens grow to a large size." McKiulay Flats, Burrundie. 



352. — " Moreton Bay Ash. (Cabbage Gum with tesselated bark at base 

 of trunk)". Burrundie (an inland district). 



389. — " Locally known as ' Moreton Bay Ash.' Bark rough at base only ; 

 smooth and deciduous on upper limbs." McKinlay River Flats. 



350. — " Medium to large trees on fiats ; smallish on hills. Bark ranges 

 from the Moreton Bay Ash type to entirely rough like Bloodwood, or again, 

 quite smooth, white over entire stem on flats, without curl}' character of leaf 

 or shape and characteristics of seed-capsulos changing. The tree when it has 

 rough bark half way up stem is known as Moreton Bay Ash ; the other varieties 

 are knovNU as Cabbage Gums. Large tree, dense foliage." Foliage thick. 

 Burrundie.
