3. E. cordata Loddiges non Labill., Bot. Cab., t. 328 (1819). 



It is stated to be " a native of Van Diemen's Land," which is a mistake. 

 Also, that "we cannot entertain a doubt of this plant being the E. cordata of 

 Labillardiere." See also, 



" 232 E. cordata Loddig. Bot. Cab. Hab. in Australia. Eucalypti species 

 rarisissime in hybernaculis florent, et in foliis siniillimse sunt, hinc difficile 

 dignoscuntur, dubias itaque tantum licuit proponere species " (Link's Enumeratio, 

 p. 81.) 



And again 



Eucalyptus cordata, Lodd. Caulis teres. Folia opposita, vix subcordata, sub-transverso- 

 orbiculari-ovata, brevissirue obtuse apiculata, glabra, pruinoso-glauca, membranaceo-coriacea, subtiliter 

 reticulato-venosa, 1' lg., \\' It. Odor et sapor partium omnium valde aromatica. (Hoffmg. Verz. Pfl. 

 Nachtr. ii, p. 232). 



RANGE. 



It is confined to New South Wales, so far as we know, having only been 

 found in three localities — around and upon Mt. Blaxland, just over tlie Blue 

 Mountains, also near Apsley in the Bathurst district, about twenty miles further 

 westward. 



The only other locality is near Cooma, in the southern district, and it is 

 not improbable that it may be found in intermediate localities. At no place is it 

 abundant. It is a scraggy, spindly, tall shrub, apparently a disappearing species. 



There are three specimens on one sheet in Herb. Cant, ex herb. Lindl., bearing 

 two labels, 



1. " Interior of New Holland, Major Mitchell's Expedition, 183—" 



2. " Height, 7 feet ; habit, weeping ; summit of Mt. Blaxland, Eraser." 



These specimens bear the label "E. pulvigera " Cunningham, and are identical 

 with Cunningham's type specimens. 



No. 1 specimen was probably collected on the Expedition on which Richard 

 Cunningham was killed (1835). 



No. 2 specimen was probably collected during Oxley's expedition to the west 

 iu 1817, when Allan Cunningham was collecting for Kew, and Eraser (afterwards 

 Superintendent, Sydney Botanic Gardens) was collecting for Earl Bathurst. Whether 

 Cunningham first named it on the 1817 trip, I do not know. I have already quoted 

 his 1S22 diary, which is the first allusion to this species by him known to me. 



Cox's River, where it was collected by Allan Cunningham and described by 

 him as E. pulvigera in Barron Field's " Geographical Memoirs on N.S.W." (R. 

 H. Cambage and J.U.M.).
