A specimen in " Plantse Miillerianae, Nov. Holland, meridional," bearing 

 the words " Eucalyptus ? Arbor, Port Lincoln," in Miquel's handwriting is Euc. 

 odorata. (From Herb. Vindob.) 



The two following specimens precisely match Adelaide specimens : — 



" Plantae Miillerianpe, B. and Scblt. (Bebr and Schlechtendal), Nov. Holland, 

 meridional, Dombey Bay." (Examined by Miquel.) 



" Eucalyptus odorata, B. and Schlt., Dombey Bay," in Herb. Barbey-Boissier, 

 ex herb., Miquel. 



They have abundant small fruits, and precisely resemble Adelaide Mallee, 

 and also specimens formerly labelled E. calcicultrix. 



E. odorata, var. cajuputea (E. cajuputea, E.v.M.), Flinders Eange (specimen 

 in Herb. Melb.). 



Mr. Walter Gill, the Conservator of Forests of South Australia, writes to me 

 about E. odorata : — 



" It is growing on the Mount Brown Forest Reserve in the Flinders Bange, 

 about 9 or 10 miles south of the town of Quorn. The Reserve is situated about 

 20 miles a little north-east of Port Augusta. The Minders Range runs from Quorn 

 south as far as west of Laura. There is a lot of E. odorata growing round Melrose, 

 the town under Mt. Remarkable, and some of it is very large timber (for odorata). 

 It may be said that the species is general in the southern portion of the State." 



" Peppermint." Type of Mallee growing in the Flinders Range country, 

 about 10 miles south of Quorn, and just a little north of Mt. Brown. 



St. Vincent's Gulf and upper part of St. Vincent's Gulf (W. Gill). 



" Peppermint," Kapunda. " A Box tree, very hard wood " (R. H. Cambage). 



Kapunda (W. Gill). 



Bundaleer Forest (J.H.M.) ; Scrub between Murray Bridge and Monarto 

 (J. M. Black) ; Wirrabara Forest Reserve, Mt. Remarkable and Spencer's Gulf 

 generally (W. Gill) ; Hog Bay, Kangaroo Island (J.H.M.) ; Kangaroo Island 

 (J. G. 0. Tepper), with rather broad leaves. These two specimens without flowers 

 and may be var. purpurascens. 



Victoria. 

 Many of these specimens well show the dilated stigma which Behr gives as a 

 character of the species. 



Serviceton, South Australian-Victoria border (R. H. Cambage); Rushworth 

 and Wedderburn (J. Blackburne) ; Avoca (W. Percy Wilkinson) ; the Wimmera 

 district, near Nhill (St. Eloy D' Alton and Walter) ; the channelling of the leaves 

 is well marked in this specimeu. North-west Victoria (C. Walter). Stigma not 

 much dilated, " Odorata var. floribunda," Bentham, Yarra (Mueller). Dimboola 

 (St. Eloy D'Alton). Typical var. calcicultrix does not seem to have been 

 collected out of South Australia, but this specimen is very close to it.
