I have seen the type; it is referred to below. I would invite attention to 

 Schauer's spelling of his specific name. 



It is described in English in B.Fl. iii. 214, but the synonyms given 

 (E. populifolia, Hook., and E. populnea, F.v.M.) must be excluded. See Part X of 

 this work, pages 340 and 343. 



Mueller figures the species in " Eucalyptographia " with some slight 

 confusion with E. Baueriana, Schauer, which will be referred to wben that species 

 is reached. 



It is ("Eucalyptographia") stated to be known as " Den " by Gippsland 

 aborigines on Howitt's authority. The use of this aboriginal name might be further 

 inquired into, since I have received " Grey Box " (E. hemiphloia, var. albens) also 

 under the name "Den" or "Dern" from the same locality. See page 23 of Part XI 

 of this work. Dr. C. S. Sutton gives me " Teering" as the aboriginal name in the 

 Loddon District of Victoria.
