E. eugenioides does not appear to go further west than Jenolan Cares and 

 Mudgee. 



" Bastard Stringybark " (Penrith : J. L. Boornian, January, 1900). I desire 

 to invite attention to an interesting form of tins species. The fruits are smaller 

 than is usual and nearly globular. They are on nearly filiform pedicels of about 

 2 lines ; the common peduncle is twice that length, and more. The bark is harder 

 and denser (less stringy) than those of the normal species — more "bark bound "; a 

 character also noted under E. capitettata. Perhaps hybridism is indicated in this 

 case. The plant is indubitably E. eugenioides, though, from examination of the 

 fruits alone, it might reasonably be supposed to be E. ha? ma stoma, vat. micrantha. 



Northern Localities. — Most of the northern specimens have the rims red and 

 prominent, and the valves slightly exsert. 



'•' Good timber, cut for sleepers. Yellow inner bark, between the rough and 

 the inner bark ; the fibrous portion very tough." "Wyee (A Murphy). The fruits 

 are slightly constricted, and in heads; the filaments turn brownish-red on drying. 



Stringybark. free splitting ; bark between sap and outside yellow* St. Aiban's 

 district, Hawkesbury River (A. Murphy). Transit to E. Mueller iana. 



TTallsend (YV\ W. Froggatt). — Fruits rather small, rim red and conspicuous, 

 valves slightly exsert, leaves broadish (?) ; Booral (A. Rudder, No. 4) ; Wallsend 

 (J. L. Boornian) ; Booral (A. Rudder, A. 29). 



" Stringybark, height about 60 ft., diam. 18 in., mould over shale," near 

 Underbank, Upper Williams River (A. Rudder, G. 10). 



Pokolbin, No. 1,486, R. H. Cambage. Near to E. inikinsoniana, R. T. 

 Baker. 



Stewart's Brook. — Rim of fruit red and pronounced (J.H.M.) ; Moggrani 

 Mountain, Gloucester (J. H.M.) ; Upper Hastings River; cutting near Yeldham's. 

 Bruits slightly exsert and rim pronounced (J.H.M.) ; Macleay River (Forester 

 TV. Macdonald). 



Murrurundi (J.H.M. and J. L. Boornian). Valves slightly exsert, rim 

 broadish, hemispherical, slightly depressed, with short filiform pedicels, connecting 

 with the " Bastard Stringybark " of Penrith. 



Collaroy (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman), showing white dots and a slight 

 ribbing of the fruits. 



Near Cemetery, Tingha (R. H. Cambage) ; with fruits a little more sub- 

 cylindrical and perhaps a little more domed than the type. Specimens from the 

 same locality with nearly pilular fruits and very narrow juvenile foliage. 



Near 11-mile post, Inverell to Tingha (R. H. Cambage). Form with even 

 narrower leaves than the type.
