RANGE. 



(Typical Form). 



It extends from eastern Victoria along eastern New South Wales to southern 

 Queensland. It has been found in coastal New South "Wales as far north as Single- 

 ton, and then there is a great gap until New England, near Stanthorpe, in Queensland, 

 is reached. It is obvious that connecting localities require to be searched for. 



Victoria. 



This is a tree formerly known in Victoria as E. polyanthemos, being included, 

 with the Red Box, under that name, by Mueller. The late Dr. A. W. Howitt 

 deserves the credit of working out the range of E. Baueriana in Gippsland. In 

 that portion of Victoria it is known as " Cabbage Box." It occurs about Metung, 

 Nowa Nowa (an arm of Lake Tyers), Heyfield, and Bairnsdale, on the littoral strip 

 about the Lakes' entrance, also on river flats only. It does not occur in South 

 Gippsland. 



I found it called "Apple Box" around Metung, and have received it from 

 the Werribee River from the late C. Walter. 



New South Wales. 



George's River (collected by Robert Brown, 1802-5) . Distributed from the 

 British Museum at least as early as 1876, under the number 4,734, under the name 

 of E. subrotunda, and also that of E. polyanthemos, Schauer). 



Grose River and banks of Nepean River, near its confluence with the Grose. 

 Robert Brown collected here about May, 1803, and January, 1805. Mr. R. H. 

 Cambage and I collected it here 



North Richmond, near the Hawkesbury Agricultural College (C. T. Musson). 

 Richmond (W. Woolls). Dr. Woolls always called it Lignum vitae or Poplar-leaved 

 Box. The three last localities are near to each other. 



Penrith (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). St. Mary's, South Creek (R. T. 

 Baker). Type of E. Fletcheri. 



All the above localities are Sydney to the Blue Mountains. 



" Blue Box," Bankstown and Cabramatta (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman) ; 

 Liverpool (H. Deane) ; Edensor Park, Liverpool (J.H.M.) ; Glenfield to Minto and 

 George's River (J. L. Boorman). 



Thirlmere (W. Cuneo). Co-type of E. Fletcheri. Also collected by R. H. 

 Cambage. Milton (R. H. Cambage), who furnishes the note : " Bark rough up to 

 ultimate branchlets." Mr. J. S. Allen, Inspecting Forester of the district, says that 

 it occurs from Milton to Eden. 



I collected it about Pambula. At the saw-mill there it is known as " Black 

 Box," because of the dark foliage of the tree. The timber is much valued locally, 

 though in this district it is rare to get a log large enough for milling purposes,
