714 FLORA OF AUSTRALIA, V., 



A. ixiophylla Benth. (Syn. A. glutinosa F.v.M., B. Fl. ii. 

 p.387). — This species appears not to have been previously figured, 

 but as it is a full congener to the above species, A. fuliginea, it is 

 now figured for comparison with that species, and to aid future 

 systematists of the genus who may not have an opportunity of 

 examining herbarium or field material (Plate lxvi.). 



A. Dawsoni R. T. Baker.— This species, previously recorded 

 only from Rylstone, has been found by Mr. D. Kennedy to occur 

 at Abercrombie, 100 miles south of its original record. 



HHIZOPHOKEJE. 



*Bruguiera Rheedii Blume. — Occurs in swamps at Ballina, 

 where it has been collected by Dr. W. H. Tomlins. 



MYRTACE^l. 



Melaleuca erubescens Otto. — Occurs at Shuttleton, Nymagee, 

 having been collected by W. Bauerlen. This is its most western 

 locality. 



Eucalyptus Rudderi J. H. Maiden (" Red Box.") — Collected 

 at Blue Gum Gully, Thirlmere, by C. F. Laseron. The timber is 

 red-coloured, hard and durable. 



Oil The crude oil of this species is of a reddish-brown colour. 



It has the characteristic odour of the " box" oils and a secondary 

 odour of aromadendral. No phellandrene could be detected; the 

 species therefore, belongs to that group of "boxes" of which 

 E. hemiphloia and E. Woollsiana are pronounced types. Only a 

 very small amount of eucalyptol could be detected, and it is 

 doubtful whether more than 5 per cent, of that constituent is 

 present. Pinene is practically absent, and only 2 per cent, of the 

 oil distilled below 17l°C. (temperature corrected); between that 

 temperature and 178°C, 35 per cent, distilled, and 32 per cent, 

 more between 178°-189°C. The yield of oil was 0-309 per cent, 

 from fresh leaves with terminal branchlets. The specific gravity 

 of the crude oil is 0-9042 at 15°0., the rotation 8-5° to the left in 



* New for New South Wales.
