RANGE. 



It has hitherto been recorded from a few localities in South Australia, and certain 

 of the drier parts of Victoria and New South Wales. 



Besides those localities mentioned in the original description, Mueller quotes 

 (" Eucalyptographia") " in the hilly forest region of Wirrabara, near Crystal Brook, 

 and Mount Remarkable on deep marly clay-soil " (J. E. Brown"), and quotes Dr. 

 Behr, "in the scrubs of Sandarac-Cypresses {Callitris) near the Gawler Biver." 



Prof. Ralph Tate, in his " Flora of South Australia," states that it is found 

 in the northern agricultural areas, the Port Lincoln District, Kangaroo Island, and 

 south of the Murray Desert. A Pew more specific South Australian localities are 

 desirable.

AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. bieolor, A. Cunn. 



Mueller ("Eucalyptographia") defines the difference between E. Behriana 

 and E. bieolor (largiflorens) to be — 



(1) The bark of the latter persists. 



(2) The leaves are conspicuously narrower, of thinner consistence, of duller 

 hue, finer veined, and better provided with oil-dots.
