4. With E. Oldfieldii E.v.M. 



There is an imperfect specimen in the Melbourne Herbarium labelled 

 "A white Gum, sandy scrub land, Serpentine River, W.A." Herb. Melbourne 

 (Euc. micrauthera F.v.M.)." 



This specimen seems to me probably a narrow-leaved form of E. Oldfieldii. 

 The affinity of E. Oldfieldii to B. micrauthera is not close. See Plates 73 and 74.
