2. E. hcemastoma, DC. non Smith. 



Operculo hemisphaerico mucronulato cupula breviore, pedunculis axillaribus subterminalibusque 

 subangulatis petiolo longioribus, aliis umbellara unicarn aliis unibellas plures racemose digestas gerentibus, 

 floribus 5-10 pedicellatis, foliis lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis. In Nova-Hollandia. E. racemosa Cav.

3. E. gracilis, Sieb., ex Benth., B.F1. iii, 222, 



To this form (specimens of E. crebra from New England) appear to belong also Sieber's specimens 

 of E. gracilis, PL Exs. No. 476, referred by De Candolle to E. Juemastoma, but very different from Smith's 

 plant of that name. They are in young bud and in fruit. 



I have examined the specimen in Herb. Kew on which Bentham based the 

 above remarks. It is in young bud, as stated, and has but one fruit, not quite ripe. 

 I have since been able to examine better specimens of Sieber's No. 476 (notably 

 those in the Vienna Herbarium), and believe that Bentham's view is a correct one, 

 and that it is correctly referred to E. crebra, F.v.M. 



At the same time I desire to emphasise the fact that herbarium specimens in 

 mature leaf and half -ripe bud of E. crebra, are very difficult to discriminate between 

 those of E. hcemastoma var. micrantha. 



Indeed, I do not attach much importance to Sieber's No. 476. They are 

 incomplete ; perhaps they are mixed. 



4. E. angiistifolia, Woolls. 



Description. — E. angustifolia is regarded as a variety of E. paniculata, but the workmen, judging 

 only from the wood, call it a distinct species, by the name of the Narrow-leaved Ironbark. {Led. Veg. 

 Eingd., 123.) 



This is E. crebra, F.v.M., according to Mueller (Eucalyptographia) . It is 

 found in the Grose Vale and Lower Kurrajong, and I collected it 'there as directed 

 by Dr. Woolls himself.

RANGE. 



The type was apparently from no specific locality, but from the area between the 

 Newcastle Range to Moreton Bay, both in Queensland, say from the Etheridge 

 River, in 18' N. lat. and 143° east longitude, to the Brisbane. 



It is confined to New South Wales and Queensland, so far as we know at 

 present. 



Queensland. 



A specimen received from Kew, and examined by Bentham for the Flora 

 Australiensis, bears the following label in Mueller's handwriting, "Eucalyptus 

 crebra, Ferd. Mueller. Ironbark tree. Burdekin River. Dr. M." This is probably 

 as _ near a type sjiecirnen as we shall get.
