SYNONYM. 



E. Rodwayi Baker and Smith, Papers and Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 139 (1913). 



The confusion arose in this way. In the same Journal, p. 83 (1902), I announced 

 the discovery of E. Macarthuri Deane and Maiden between Deloraine and Chudleigh 

 Junction, Tasmania. Some time since I found that, through working with imperfect 

 material, the species was really E. aggregata, but I had not announced the correction, 

 as I expected that that species would have come on earlier in the Critical Revision. 

 Messrs. Baker and Smith, in their paper, correctly pronounced the tree to be not 

 Macarthuri, but re-described it under the name Rodwayi. I have stated the position in 

 Papers and Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., p. 30 (1914), and Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W. xlvii, 230 

 (1913). 



RANGE. 



It occurs in New South Wales and Tasmania in alluvial flats, following water- 

 courses or depressions. Always found in damp situations, hence the name "Flooded 

 Gum." It is a cold-loving species, found in a vertical height in the south-eastern part 

 of New South Wales of 2,000-4,000 feet. 



It will doubtless be found in Victoria. 



Tasmania. 



On plains near Cheshunt. 60-100 feet high, and from 2j to 3j feet in diameter 

 at the butt. Bark brownish, rough. Branches divaricating at 8 to 12 feet from the 

 ground (W. H. Archer). 



This specimen was referred by Archer himself, who was a valued correspondent 

 of Hooker, the author of the " Flora Tasmania?," to E. radiata Hook. f. (non Sieb.) var 5 

 (see p. 137 of Hooker's work). In my Crit. Rev. i, 158, I also took that view, but 

 examination of the anthers shows that it does not belong to the Renantherse to which 

 E. amygdalina, radiata, and nitida belong. 



Swanport (Dr. Story). 



Deloraine (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.). 



Locally called " Blue Gum." From 50 to 120 feet high, 2-3 feet in diameter, one 

 tree 4 feet. Bark flaky on base and trunk, not so fibrous as E. amygdalina. Branches 

 dirty white with flaky bark. Opossums feed on the young leaves. Guildford Junction 

 (R. H. Cambagcj. 



(In the original description it is stated that young trees are often eaten down by 

 cattle, and it is one of the few species of the geuus which are readily eaten by 

 herbivora.)
