Tingha to Guyra, 19 miles from the latter place (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). 

 Juvenile leaves intermediate. Mature leaves broadisli. Fruits (from same tree) 

 flat-rimmed, domed ; valves exsert and sunk ; hemispherical and inclined to be 

 sub-cylindrical. 



I place this specimen under E. eugenioides, and it certainly seems to form a 

 connecting link between the Tingha specimens and the supposed hybrid which 

 follows. 



Between Tingha and Guyra, 19 miles from the latter (J. L. Boorman). 

 " Stringybark," medium-sized trees growing in swampy ground in company with that 

 of JE. stellulata and E. nova-avglica. An interesting form; leaves broad, thickish. 

 None of the fruits with exserted valves, which is unusual in northern specimens. 

 I am of opinion that here we have a hybrid between E. eugenioides and E. stellulata. 



Fruits in heads, slightly constricted, valves sunk. Tent Hill (E. C. Andrews). 



Small fruits in heads, valves not exsert, Styx River (A. W. Howitt). I Lave 

 other specimens from the same locality showing close affinity to E. Muelleriana. 



Walcha (J. F. Campbell). Fruits rather exsert, and rim inclined to be 

 domed. Shows affinity to E. macrorrhyncha. Ascending New England from Port 

 Macquarie, this species was first observed about Yarrowitch. Thence it was not 

 uncommon in the Tia district, where it is known as " Bed Stringybark," and used 

 for timbering the mines at Tia, and also locally for flooring-boards. This species 

 shows a double operculum (J.H.M.)- 



Tenterfield to Sandy Flat (J.H.M.) — Fruits very similar to those of Sydney, 

 e.g., Concord Park (believed to be typical), hemispherical, and somewhat exserted 

 valves. Buds very compressed, almost like capitellata. I figured this (Plate 4, 

 Part I) as E. Muelleriana, and I now put it under E. eugenioides with douht. It 

 certainly is a transit form. 



Drake to Bichmond River (A. Hagman) ; Drake (E. C. Andrews), with rim 

 of fruit rather sharp and valves exsert (transit to E. Muelleriana). 



Foot of Mt. Lindsay (W. Forsyth) ; Moonambab, Bichmond River (W. 

 Baeuerlen) ; valves slightly exsert. 



Queensland. 



Nerang, near Tweed Heads (F. M. Bailey). Small fruits with sharp rim, 

 valves rather prominent. 



" Stringybark." Yellow inner bark. See fig. 16, pi. 38, Stanthorpe (J. L. 

 Boorman). A eugenioides-Muelleriana form. 



" Yellow Stringybark," Landsborough, North Coast Bailway (P. MacMahon). 

 A pale-coloured timber, with stains of bright yellow running through it.
