Mueller records it from north-western Victoria under the name of " Box 

 Ironbark." I have never seen a specimen from that State, and in view of the 

 looseness of application of the name " Box Ironbark," I recommend that E. 

 paniculata be not accepted as a Victorian plant without further investigation. 



It extends to south-coastal Queensland, but its range in that State is not 

 defined as clearly as it should be. 



New South Wales. 



South. — Bergalia, Moruya (J.H.M.) ; Moruya District, "Bed Ironbark" (J. 

 S. Allan) ; Conjola, near Milton (W. Heron) ; Nowra (J.H.M.). 



Copy of a label in Herb. Cant. : — "1, 83, Euc. paniculata, Barremma, White 

 or Pale Ironbark, Illawarra, Macarthur. Paris Exhibition, 1855." 



This means that this was in a collection of the indigenous woods of the 

 southern districts of New South Wales. Its number was 83 in the Catalogue of 

 N.S.W. Exhibits in the Paris Exhibition of 1855, and 1 in that of the London 

 Exhibition of 1862. 



" Barremma " was the aboriginal name of the tree, which was 80-120 feet in 

 height, diameter in inches, 36-48, and Sir William Macarthur's notes are (London 

 Catalogue) : " From Illawarra, the most valuable, perhaps, of all the ironbarks, 

 remarkable for its smooth, uniform outer bark, and its very hard, tough, inlocked, 

 strong wood." In the Paris Catalogue he has the note, " with unusually smooth 

 outer bark." 



No. 90 of the Paris Catalogue (No. 3 of the London Catalogue) is also 

 "Barremma," and Sir William's note (Paris Catalogue) is " SO-130 feet, 36-60 

 inches diameter. The timber of this rugged-looking tree is of the highest reputation 

 for strength and durability." In the London Catalogue he says: " From Illawarra, 

 differs apparently from the Ironbark of Cumberland and Camden — a strong and 

 most durable timber." 



Wingello, also Box Point to Barber's Creek (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). 



A specimen labelled 123 (b) (Paris Exhibition) and 529 No. 8 (London Exhi- 

 bition) was called by Sir William Macarthur " Narrow-leaved Ironbark." Diameter 

 in inches, 24-48 ; height in feet, 60-100. " From Appin, harder and much 

 coarser in the grain than the last " (crebra). I also collected JE. paniculata at Appin. 



Otford (B. H. Cambage and J.H.M.) ; Oatley's Grant, George's River 

 (J.H.M.) ; Sydney district generally, including Gladesville, Byde, and Field of 

 Mars Common (H. Deane); Canterbury (E. Cheel), Hurstville and Burwood (J.H.M), 

 Hornsby (H. Deane). 



The following specimens are probably all from the Port Jackson district 

 also : — 



(a) " Port Jackson" (Robert Brown, 1802-5). No. 4,736 of the J. J. Bennett 

 distribution from the British Museum, 1876.
