" Enc. viminalis, transit to Stuartiana, Beechworth (Falck)." Fruits more 

 pear-shaped and domed than usual. Multiflowered as regards buds ; the fruiting 

 specimens in threes. The buds are pointed. 



The following are multiflowered forms. Pedicels rather long. 



Asylum, Beechworth (A. W. Howitt). " Buds very commonly 7 or less— 

 E. viminalis, Walhalla Road " (A. W. Howitt), shows transit to E. acervula. 



Howitt's viminalis var., Tarra Ranges and Ararat (A. W. Howitt), same as 

 preceding. 



Waterloo and Beaufort (A. W. Howitt). 



" White Gum," Eltham, near Melbourne. Mining Department No. 17c (Herb. 

 Melb.). 



' White Gum " multiflowered specimens, with unusually small leaves, from the 

 Dandenong (Gessner). 



Ringwood (R. H. Cambage). " Euc. Stuartiana, formerly labelled Gunnii 

 Barwon, 1853"' (Mueller); Warrandyte, 1880 (C. Walter). Both the latter multi- 

 flowered and nearest to E. rubida. but connecting with E. acervula. 



" Some trees I have seen are about 60 feet high, stem 2 to 3 feet through, smooth 

 bark, whitish and spotted like E. goniocalyx. coming off in the season in long 

 ribbons, the branchlets dark reddish. To my mind the prettiest gum-tree in Victoria." 

 Christmas Hills. Mooroolbark, Wandin. Healesville, Kilmore Junction (P. R. H. 



St. John). 



Macedon (A. W. Howitt). 







'' Perfectly smooth white trunk, no rough persistent bark on it, even at the base. 

 I have noted this form in the Gippsland Ranges and in the valley of the King River." 

 Near Castlemaine (J. Blackburne). 



Tasmania. 



The Tasmanian forms seen by me are from the eastern part of the island. The 

 forms have flowers in threes and more than threes, and are not typical. They have 

 been referred to as " broad-suckered viminalis." While the Tasmanian specimens 

 are referred by me to E. rubida without doubt, it is desirable that the range of the 

 species and amount of variation in Tasmania should be further inquired into. 



Beltana, Hobart (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.); Risdon Cove (J.H.M.); New 

 Norfolk (E. Cheel). 



Back River (L. Rodway). Mr. Rodway says it has rather a wide distribution in 

 Tasmania on dry hills. 



Messrs. R. H. Cambage and E. C. Andrews state that they observed E. rubida 

 between Conara and St. Mary's near the latter, but as they were in a train they could 

 not collect specimens.
