5. E. perfoliate, Desf. (Oat. Sort. Par., ed. iii, 408), "very doubtful" 



(Beutbam), is probably E. globulus, Labill. 



6. E. perfoliata, Noisette. Is described in Steudel's Nomenclator botanicus 



ed. i, 1821, but is nomen nudum. 



Tbe reference is " perfoliata" Nois. =glauca. It is quoted as a synonym of 

 E. glauca, DC. in DC. Prod, iii, 221. 



7. E. pulverulenta Link's Enum. p. 31 is also quoted as a synonym of E. glauca, 



DC, in tbe same place. 



Tbe seed of E. globulus bas been exported to Europe for very many years, 

 and tbe above species arose tb rough tbe practice of tbe early botanists, who named 

 Eucalypts from plants in tie seedling stage. 



RANGE. 



Originally discovered in Tasmania, it bas been found to occur pretty exten- 

 sively in Victoria, and it is by no means rare in New South Wales, chiefly in southern 

 alpine regions. A favourite tree for planting, it now often occurs even in South and 

 Western Australia and Southern Queensland, but it is not indigenous there. As 

 regards Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, it is important for observers to 

 carefully distinguish between localities in which it is planted and those in which it 

 is spontaneous. 



Tasmania. 



It is fairly well diffused over many parts of the island, except in tbe west. 

 It is more common in tbe south than in the north. 



The following Tasmanian specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney, have 

 historical associations : — 



Adventure Bay, the locality visited in January, 1777, on Cook's Third Voyage, 

 by David Nelson and Mr. Anderson, Surgeon of H.MS. "Resolution," who here 

 collected the first Eucalyptus. (J.H.M.) 



E-. Brown, Iter Australiense, 1802-5 (probably Hobart). 



Port Arthur, visited by Backhouse and other botanists. (J.H.M.) 



Hobart (Gunn's No. 1070). 



Flinders' Island (Gunn's No. 1070 and J. Milligan's No. 658). 



Victoria. 



This tree grows plentifully in parts of Gippsland, for instance, from Neerim southwards through 



Poowong to Jumbunna and westwards to Currajong. It is found on the northeastern shores of Lake 



King, at Lake Tyers in the Cunningham State Forest, at Apollo Bay and many other places, but I cannot 



now recall any State Forest where it is found, exempting that at Cunningharae. It is found also in the
