RANGE. 



E. macrorrhyncha is found in Victoria (where the type came from). South 

 Australia, New South "Wales, and southern Queensland. 



Victoria. 



As regards its range in Gippsland, Mr. A. W. Howitt states, " It commences 

 at Glen Maggie, on the dry Silurian ridges, extends all along the stony ranges 

 flanking the valley, and reaches an altitude of ahout 3,000 feet on the track leading 

 up from the Wellington to the Snowy Plains." 



Mueller gives its range " On comparatively sterile ridges and ranges, chiefly 

 of the Silurian formation, widely and often gregariously distributed through much 

 of the wooded country of Victoria, for instance towards the Upper Yarra and in the 

 Dandenong Ranges ; thence to the mountains of Gippsland easterly, to the Mitta 

 Mitta and Hume River northerly, the Avoca and the Pyrenees westerly, and towards 

 Cape Otway southerly in our colony." — (Eucalyptographia, under E. macrorrhyncha.) 



Following are aberrant forms. Small, glaucous, pointed buds like those of 

 E. eugenioides. Oil-glands of leaA'es prominent. Emits typical macrorrhyncha. 

 Buchan, North Gippsland (A. W. Howitt). 



A closely-allied form from Stawell (A. W. Howitt) has the buds glabrous 

 and even shining. The fruits are less typical than those of the preceding specimen, 

 being closer to capitellata. 



South Australia. 



In South Australia E. macrorrhyncha is confined to the Adelaide district, 

 according to the late Prof. Tate. 



New South Wales. 



In this State it is found along the Dividing Range and Table Land from 

 south to north. It goes down the western slopes, and on the spurs of the main 

 range, and on the isolated ranges some distance into the interior. The most westerly 

 localities actually recorded are the Harvey and Warrumbungle Ranges. 



Southern Localities. — Quiedong, near Bombala (W. Baeuerlen) ; Bombala to 

 Delegate (J.H.M.) ; Tantawanglo Mountain, Cathcart, Montgomery's Mill 

 (H. Deane) ; Gungahleen (Goldsbrough, Mort, & Co.), with thick, short leaves and 

 strongly marked venation ; Tumut (W. W. Froggatt) ; Gundagai (H. Deane) ; 

 Barber's Creek (H. J. Rnmsey), with swollen, insect-punctured buds as already 

 figured in E. stellulata. Bowral to Wombeyan Caves, 1 mile east (J.H.M. and 

 R. H. Cambage) with narrowish, lanceolate suckers, not quite at the youngest stage.
