2. No. 4,744 (of J. J. Bennett). Collected by R. Brown, 1802-5, "South 

 Coast." 



Both specimens with not perfectly ripe fruit. 



H. A specimen from Herb. Paris, the original of which, with contemporary 

 handwriting, " Envoye a M. Brown, N. Holl. Cote Occidentale,* He des Kanguroos." 



4. Waterhouse. 



5. Tate. 



Also from Guichen Bay (? collector), labelled E. viminalis, var. diver sifolia, 

 by Bentham. 



" With a fruiting specimen, obtained from Guichen Bay, and to all appearance 

 belonging to E. sontali folia, a note is given that there the tree rises to 60 feet, such 

 tallness being probably of exceptional occurrence." — (" Eucalyptographia," under 

 E. sanialifoiiu.) Mueller does not give the name of the collector, and the size of 

 the species is worthy of further investigation. 



Port Lincoln (W. Gill). 



A white Mallee, 90-Mile Desert, S.A. (R. H. Cambage), with sub-cylindrical 

 flat-topped fruits, smaller than the Victorian ones. "A glaucous Mallee up to 

 12 feet high. Smooth gum bark with ribbons." Same locality (R. H. Cambage). 

 "With smaller fruits than usual. Rim somewhat domed. 



Victoria. 



Cape Nelson, near Portland, " restricted to a small area. Flourishing on the 

 old sand-dunes where they occur about one mile from the coast, and have sole 

 possession of the area where they occur, though E. obliqua, E. amygdalina, and 

 E. viminalis occur in places a little further inland, and also along the coast." — 

 (A. E. Kitson in litt.) These specimens have the largest fruits (f inch in diameter) 

 I have seen in this species. 



Western Australia. 



Drummond's No. 64 ; Stirling Range (Mueller) ; west from Yetemerup, 

 N. side of Stirling Range (A. Morrison), with fruits not much larger than thos^ 

 of Mr. Cambage ; King George's Sound (? Webb). 



* This label is interesting because of the use of the words " Cote Occidentale " in this way. Strictly speaking, C6t6 

 Occidentale begins at Cape Leeuwin, but I have been more than once perplexed with the use of the term in old labels 

 when there is strong reason to suppose that the specimens were obtained from Kangaroo Island, or from the coast of 

 South Australia, or from the coast of West Australia east of the Eeeuwin.
