Western Localities. — Penrith, with unusually small fruits (J.H.M. and 

 J. L. Boorman). 



The small-fruited form continues the whole way across the Mountains, and 

 is confined to the poor soil, avoiding the deep valleys. 



Mt. Wilson, on the sandstone (Jesse Gregson). Some of these specimens 

 have flat-topped and rather large fruits, and resemble a good deal those from 

 Grenfell referred to under E. Rossii. They also have affinity to var. capitata as 

 regards the shape of the fruits. 



Capertee (J. L. Boorman). In fruit only, and may he compared with the 

 Camboon specimens (see E. Rossii) ; Mudgee No. 10 F. ; Apsley (R. H. Camhage) 

 Perth (J. L. Boorman). 



" Near the head of the Castlereagh River, which extends the range of the 

 species further towards the westward than it has previously been found in this 

 latitude. It is a large tree, and is locally known as 'Cabbage Gum' " (W. Forsyth). 



Northern Localities. — Berowra, large fruits (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman) ; 

 Tuggerah Lakes (J.L.B.) ; Morisset (A. Murphy) ; Dudley, near Newcastle, with 

 fruits as large as ever found near Sydney (Jesse Gregson) ; Belmont, near Newcastle 

 (Jesse Gregson) ; Raymond Terrace (A. Rudder) ; Failford to Forster (J.H.M.) ; 

 Port Macquarie (G. R. Brown); Port Macquarie to Kempsey (J.H.M.); Moonam- 

 bah, Brunswick River (W. Baeuerlen) ; "Tumble-down Gum," Hillgrove and 

 Enmore, Armidale District (J. F. Campbell) ; Emmaville (J. L. Boorman). 



Queensland. 



" Spotted Gum," type of E. signata, F.v.M. Brisbane River, from F. v. 

 Mueller, from Kew. 



" White or Sugar Gum," of no utility. Maryborough (W. H. Williams). 



"Eucalyptus scarcely distinct from E. hcemastoma, Sm., Moreton Bay, 1824, 

 A.C." This specimen of Allan Cunningham in Herb. Cant, ex herb. Lindl. is var. 

 micrantha. 



Archer's Station, Rockhampton (Leichhardt). 



AFFINITIES. 



] . With E. Sieberiana. 



As regards the vernacular names in the "Flora Australiensis," Cunningham's 

 name of " Blackbutt " is a misnomer, and has probably arisen from confusion of the 

 species with the "Mountain Ash" (E. Sieberiana), and the name of "Mountain 

 Ash" for E. ha?mastoma has probably arisen through too close reliance upon 

 herbarium specimens, those of E. hamastoma and E. Sieberiana being frequently 

 difficult to discriminate unless complete material be available. 



As compared with E. Sieberiana, there is a close affinity in juvenile foliage. 

 See E. Sieberiana, p. 306.
