Then it was lost for about forty vears, when it was found by Mr. Richard 

 Hill, in 1880, on the Huon Road, probably on the same spot where it had been 

 found by Gunn. Then, shortly after it was found by Mr. T. Stephens and Mr. F. 

 Abbott on the foot-hills of Mt. Wellington, on the Huon Road, within five miles of 

 Hobart. See Proa. Boy. Soc. Tas., April, 1881, p. iv. Mr. Stephens raised a tree 

 from seeds he then collected. This was blown down by a gale in 1903, its height 

 being 40 feet. 



It was sent to the Royal Society of Tasmania by the Rev. C. J. Brammall 

 from Nelson's Tier, where he found it growing abundantly over a range of from 

 6 to 10 miles from Sorell 



This is certainly a new locality, and he adds that he obtained a specimen at 

 Recherche Bay,, and another from near Leslie in 1881, and, in the same year, he 

 and Mr. Abbott found it growing abundantly near the Huon Road, about 4 miles 

 from Hobart. (Papers and Proc. Boy. Soc. Tas., 1888, xxxiii.) Leslie is a small 

 township, sometimes called Huon Track, North West Bay River, about 12 miles 

 from Hobart. 



Mr. L. Rodway collected it on Mount Wellington, near Ferntree, probably 

 near the above locality, and pointed it out to Mr. R. H. Cambage and myself. 

 Mr. Rodwav also found it at Lonsdev, several miles further from Hobart. In 

 Mr. Rodway's Tasmanian Flora he quotes the following localities : — " Huon 

 Road, Recherche, Brown Mountain, Campania, Tasman Peninsula." His statement 

 that it is also found in the southern districts of New South Wales is probably based 

 on an erroneous statement by me. 



Mr. T. Stephens informed me that E. cordata grows in decomposed volcanic 

 rock (greenstone, diabase), not in recent volcanic rock (basalt). 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. pulvigera, A. Cunn. 



Bentham (B.F1. iii, 193) makes the following contrast : — 



Leaves crenate. Calyx obtuse at the base ... E. cordata. 

 Leaves quite entire. Calyx tapering at the base. . . E. pulverulenta. 

 By E. pulverulenta, Sims, E. pulvigera, A. Cunn., is meant, and I will refer to 

 the matter in Part XXI, when I deal with E. pulvigera. 



2. With E. einerea, F.v.M. 



At this place, see a paper by R. T. Baker, " On Eucalyptus cordata, Labill., 

 and its cognate species " {Proc. Aust. Assocn. Adv. Science, ix, 344), and I will 

 refer to the affinities with E. einerea, when I figure that species in Part XXI.
