F. grandis Hill is referred to in mv Forest Flora of New South Wales i, 79, 

 and, although, not formally described, is to be found in the Kew Herbarium and some 

 other herbaria, and, in the light of later knowledge, the informal description of Mr. 

 "Walter Hill, as there quoted, is quite clear, and, since it is backed up -with 

 herbarium specimens, might be claimed to be sufficient, if it were desired to give it 

 specific rank. 



RANGE. 



It is found in coastal New South Wales and the southern tableland, from 

 Barber's Creek northwards to south-eastern Queensland. As it is not yet well 

 understood as a distinct variety, its range should be further enquired into. 



Neav South Wales. 

 George Caley, who botanised in New South Wales on behalf of Sir Joseph 

 Banks from 1S00 to 1S10, collected this form, and he did not explore more than a 

 hundred miles from Sydney to the south, and probably less to the north. He stated 

 the native name to be " Calangara."

 localities: — "Flooded Gum," Booral district (A. Rudder) ; Port Stephens (Miss
