RANGE. 



The species in its normal form occurs in northern Victoria, thence in New 

 South Wales, in the southern mountainous country from ahout Tumut to Berrima, 

 and thence in the Bathurst district. Connecting localities hctween the southern and 

 western ones will douhtless be found. 



" N.S. W. — Lachlan Biver near Bathurst, A. Cunningham, also Lake George, 

 Herb. F. Mueller " are the localities quoted in B.Fl. iii, 239. 



These are mentioned by Mueller in Fragm. ii, 70, for E. pulverulenta Sims, 

 with which he had originally identified it. The locality " Lachlan Biver" is 

 doubtless erroneous. Mueller's words in Fragm. are " In vicinia fluininis Lachlan 

 oppidum Bathurst versus." There is no evidence that the species has been collected 

 on the Lachlan, and probably Cunningham's Wattle Flat locality is referred to. The 

 Lachlan reference is apparently a mere slip of the pen. 



In the " Eucalyptographia " Mueller has the folloAving localities for E. 

 pulverulenta (F.v.M. non Sims). 



(1) Upper Lachlan, (2) Cox's Biver, (3) Marulan to Yass, (4) Berrima, 

 (5) Lake George, (6) Castlereagh Biver (the above are New South Wales). (7) Lake 

 Omeo, (8) Buckan Biver, (9) Between the Avon and Mitchell Bivers, (10) Towards 

 Walhalla (these are Victorian localities). 



(1) Already referred to. (2) This is E. pulvigera A. Cunn. (E. pulverulenta 

 Sims). (3), (1), (5) This is E. cinerea. I have not been able to confirm (6) for 

 E. cinerea ; the locality is farther to the north-west than that of any form known 

 to me. Nos. (7) to (10) are all E. cinerea var. multiflora. 



Typical Form. 



New South Wales. 

 Limekilns near Wattle Flat, about 20 miles northerly from Bathurst. 

 Locally called " Peppermint." Fine trees about 60 feet high. On the track taken 

 by Allan Cunningham in April, 1823 ; see his " Journal of a route from Bathurst to 

 Liverpool Plains," as described by him in Barron Field's " Geographical Memoirs 

 on N.S.W." p. 133 (B. H. Cambage and J.H.M.). 



Now we come to southern localities : — 



Near Coal Mine, Berrima (J.H.M.) ; Jerrara, near Bungonia (H. J. Bumsey); 

 " Blue Peppermint," Wingello (J. L. Boorman and J.H.M.) ; Barber's Creek (H. 

 J. Bumsey; "Blue-leaved Apple" Marulan (A. Murphy); "Turpentine," 

 "Messmate," " Bastard Stringy bark." Typical of the forest growth on an extensive 

 belt of country in the Jerrawa district. The country it grows in is useless for 

 farming or grazing, as the soil consists of a barren sandy shale of Silurian age 

 (Jerrawa Shales). See Froc. Aust. Assoc. Adv. Science xiii, 106 [1911] (A. J. 

 Shearsby).
