64 NOTES ON NATIVE FLORA OF NEW SOUTH WALES, VI., 



transit to the local Box, which in this case is E. albens; and the 

 occurrence naturally suggests hybridization. In some instances 

 the fruits, timber, and bark are of an intermediate character;, 

 but so far as my brief observations have gone, it would appear 

 that the particular trees under discussion have nearly all the 

 features of E. Caleyi without the usual rough bark. Few 

 bushmen would be induced to consider the tree to be the same 

 as the Ironbark, without working the timber. 



B. crebra, the Narrow-leaved Ironbark, is fairly common 

 around Emmaville at altitudes up to 3,000 feet, but the width 

 of the leaves is variable. Although it grows with E. Caleyi, the 

 two species are easily distinguished by the general contrast 

 between the dark-coloured foliage of the former, and the glaucous,, 

 often drooping appearance of the latter (Plate ii.). 



Only a little of Casuarina Luehmanni (Bull Oak) was seen, 

 and this was about two miles southerly from Emmaville, in com- 

 pany with other western plants. C. inophloia F.v.M., the oak 

 tree with a semi-fibrous bark, was not noticed near Emmaville, 

 but it occurs about ten miles away, near the Severn River on 

 the Inverell Road. 



Tent Hill to Deepwater. 



From Tent Hill to Deepwater is 14 miles easterly. The 

 geological formation for many miles is blue granite, then sandy 

 slates, with the exception of some basalt near the 4-mile post.. 

 Much of the country has been cleared, but the flora on the blue 

 granite is always sparse compared with that of the acid granite. 

 The following plants were noticed by the roadside : — Hibbertia 

 linearis, Sterculia diver si folia, Jacksonia scoparia, Daviesia 

 latifolia, Hardenbergia monophylla, Acacia linijolia, A. implexa, 

 A. decurrens, Angophora intermedia, A. subvelutina, Eucalyptus 

 melliodora, E. nova-anglica, E. Bridgesiana, E. tereticornis, E. 

 albens, E. conica, E. viminalis 'first seen between the 8- and 9- 

 mile posts from Deepwater), E. eugenioides (at about 3 miles 

 from Deepwater), Helichrysum apiculatum, Melichrus urceolatus y 

 Lissanthe strigosa, Pimelea sp., and Casuarina Luehmanni.
