Diinboola (F. Reader). Fruits tending to hemispherical and sessile or nearly 

 so. Of medium size. Very similar to those from South Australia. (Murray 

 Bridge, W. Gill, 6/03.) 



Wimmera. F. Mueller. 



Euston to Swan Hill (A. W. Howitt). 



Lake Ilindmarsh (C. Walter). Fruits of medium size. Similar to Ninety- 

 mile Desert. (S. A.) specimens. 



Dimboola (St. Eloy D'Alton, F. Reader, and H. B. Williamson). Operculum 

 more or less rostrate, buds and fruits ribbed and rather large and show much 

 constriction in drying unless fruits are quite ripe. 



Typical var. angulosa. 



Nhill; St. Eloy D'Alton, with fruits less ribbed and with purple bases to the 

 filaments. Rim well defined, reminding one of E. leucoxylon and melliodora. 



All the above are referable to var. angulosa. 



New South Wales. 



I have no record of typical var. angulosa, the large-fruited form of incrassata, 

 being found in this State, all the forms being referable to var. dumosa. 



1 have already pointed out that A. Cunn.'s E. dumosa came from what is now 

 the Wyalong-Booligal malice country. Much of it is in the county of Bland. The 

 mallee country (it is by no means all var. dumosa) probably covers 15,000 or 20,000 

 acres. 



Wyalong (II. Deane, W. S. Campbell). A type locality, see Plate 16. 



The latter wrote : — " Light-coloured stems, rather narrow leaves, and light- 

 coloured bark." The mallee trees are up to, say, 20 feet in height, with a stem 

 diameter of, say, G inches. 



Balranald (G. S. M. Grant). 



Red Mallee, Barham, Murray River (Asst. Forester Chanter). 



Gol Gol. (A. W. Howitt.) Sub-conical fruits with slightly exserted valves. 



Coolabah, J. L. Boornian, June, 1901. " Mallee. Small stunted trees, 

 growing on high ridges, stems thin, leaves large. Stems slightly ribbony at the base." 



Darling River (Burke and Wills Expedition). 



Messrs. R. H. Cambage and J. L. Boornian have collected it this side of the 

 Darling (Cobar District). The former says it is known as White Mallee, because 

 it has white smooth bark to the ground, and that it is usually found growing with 

 E. oleosa, these two forming mallee scrubs.
