Its commonest name in New South Wales and North-eastern Victoria is 

 " Apple," but it must not be confused with Angophora. It is the " But-But " of 

 Gippsland, as pointed out by Mr. Howitt, a designation that separates it from 

 E. cinerea. 



It is sometimes called " Woolly Butt," but must not be confused witli 

 E. longifolia. 



It is the "Apple-tree Gum" of Mr. De Coque (Journ. Boy. Soc. N.S.W., 

 xxviii, 212, 189 4). 



Owing to the "Box" (E. hemiphloia) appearance of the bark, it has for 

 many years been looked upon as a Box in some districts, though an inferior one. 



Called "White Peppermint" in New England, in contradistinction to 

 " Black Peppermint " (E. cinerea var. nova-anglica) .

1 and 2. In Part XXI (Vol. II T, Part I), pp.4 and 6, of the present work, I 

 have explained that there are three E. Stuartiana* F.v.M., in botanical literature, 

 and that the present name is the third of the series. 



3. The description of this species under another name does not remove the 

 difficulties which have gathered around the name E. Stuartiana. 



4 and 5. It seemed to me desirable to indicate, by some name, a small-fruited 

 form of E. Stuartiana which has been found near Hassan's Walls, at Young, and 

 in several other parts of the State. 



With the collection of additional material I found that the transition to the 

 normal species was complete, and I do not think it is a useful variety. Shortly 

 afterwards, Mr. Baker described this small fruiting form as E. angophoroides.
