In the same district ('? Wangan Hills) a noble Eucalyptus abounded, which eclipses even your 

 E. maerocarpus; its Mowers are crimson and golden-yellow, and freely produced on plants which have not 

 attained half the full stature of 12-15 feet high. Sometimes these charming blossoms vary with pale 

 red and white ; they hang in profusion from the tips of the branches. 



(Letter, undated, in Hooker's Journal of Bo t any, Vol- 5, p. 313 [1853].) 



Mueller (" Eucalyptographia ") quotes the additional localities of 'near the 

 Victoria Spring (Tietkens), (is this the "Queen Victoria Springs in say 30° 50 South 

 lat. and 123° CO East longitude ?) ; near Wilgerra Hill (Giles) ; and near the north 

 side of Lake Gairdner (Mosley). 



The following additional Western Australian localities are represented in the 

 National Herbarium, Sydney : — 



Received from W. Gill, Conservator of Forests, Adelaide, specimens with 

 fruits smaller and less winged thau the type. Filaments yellow. Locality not 

 stated. It may not be Western Australian. (Figured at 2, Plate 75.) 



Tammin (J.H.M.). Still smaller than the typo. A little glaucous. Filaments 

 crimson. Figured at 3, Plate 75. Tammin (J.H.M.). Same size as preceding. 

 Very glaucous. Probably very near to E. pruinosa, Turcz. Filaments yellow. 

 Figured at 4, Plate 75. 



Cowcowing (Max Koch, no number) is very glaucous and very similar to 

 the preceding. Filaments crimson. 



Coorow, Arrowsmith district. Bushy shrub, 1-2 metres high, leaves 



glaucous, purple calyx, filaments scarlet or golden yellow, anthers yellow. (L. 



Diels, JN'o. 3,319.) Glaucous calyces. Coorow, filaments yellow. Calyces not 

 glaucous. (L Diels, No. 3,319b.) 



South Australia. 

 Mueller, in " Eucalyptographia," gives the following locality : — 



Ooldea, north of Fowler's Bay, South Australia (Young) ; (this is a type- 

 locality for his E. Yovngiana ; in the original description we have Victoria Springs, 

 Young, and Fowler's Bay, Richardson ; there may therefore be some confusion in 

 regard to collectors' names). 



A specimen from Ooldea, which is about 150 miles north of Fowler's Bay 

 (Henry Deane) is perhaps as near as we shall get to the type of this variable species. 

 It is figured at 1, Plate 75. 



" Mr. Simon Mathieson, a squatter, obtained some specimens a while ago at 

 Peela Well, near Wilgena Station. 



" This station is situated not far from Tarcoola, which is right on the route of 

 the Trans-continental Railway from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie, W.A., and about 

 250 miles west from Port Augusta itself. Mr. Mathieson gave me some seed- 

 vessels which I now have and said he found them in two patches, one having trees 

 flowering with creamy white." (In a letter from W. Gill, dated 25th March, 1912.)
