Warrandyte (1880, C. Walter). Very similar to tlie preceding. 



Oakleigh (Gessner). Small leaves, small buds, small fruits (not, however, fully 

 ripe). Resembling the Barwon specimens a good deal. These small leaves may be the 

 result of environment, or having been taken from the top of a largish tree. 



South Australia. 



Speaking generally, the specimens from this State have larger flowers and fruits 

 than those of the other States. 



There is a good figure in Brown's " Forest Flora of South Australia," under the 

 name of " White Swamp Gum/' This is multiflowered (up to 6, as shown in the plate), 

 and the fruits are conoid-hemispherical. It is very common in Mt. Gambier low- 

 lying swamp country (W. Gill). 



It is identical with a specimen from Argyle Station, Mt. Gambier, collected by 

 Mueller about 1847, and labelled " E. viminalis. Bark thick, scaly (schrundig) at 

 butt." This is the kind of bark shown in Brown's plate. It is not rare in the species, 

 and it is doubtless the " Cortex ramosus nigricanti ciuereus " of E. falcifolia Miq, 

 (E. fabrorum, F.v.M.) as defined in Ned. KruidJc. Arch, iv, 136 (infra). 



Dr. Behr's No. 177, " Sud Australie, 1848," is labelled, evidently in a contemporary 

 hand, " Eucalyptus fabrorum Schlect." The specimen is in bud only, and is in Herb. 

 Barbey-Boissier. It has the buds of a pale olive-green colour. 



Dr. Behr's specimen above referred to has buds mostly in 3's, but also in 4's. 

 A specimen from Herb. Kew is labelled " E. fabrorum Schlecht. In mont. ster. elat. 

 Nov. Holl. Austr. Nov. 1848. Dr. F. Miiller. Herbar. W. Sonder. E. viminalis Lab., 

 non capitellata," is probably Behr's also. It has buds up to six. 



A specimen, " Swampy ground near Mt. Mclntyre, Mt. Gambier," was formerly 

 labelled Stuartiana. 



Near Cape Northumberland (J. M. "Black, No. 8), Mt. Burr Forest Reserve, near 

 Millicent (W. Gill) (see Fig. 9c, Plate 113). Coarse foliage, very broad rim to fruit. 

 Kuitpo Forest Reserve, near Willunga (W. Gill). " Six feet in diameter breast high; 

 90 feet high, among a patch of open forest of E. rostrata. Bark of a ribbony character. 

 Hundred of Myponga, 45 miles south of Adelaide (Walter Gill). 



This has the hemispherically-shaped fruits of typical ovata, with valves more 

 exsert than the type. The buds are pointed, resembling those of camphora. The 

 mature leaves are narrow to rather broadly lanceolate. Mv. Gill suggests crossing 

 between E. rostrata and E. ovata. This may be so, and local observers can investigate^ 

 Morphologically, it points to the impossibility of keeping E. ovata and E. camphora 

 as separate species. 



These fruits have two rings to the rim like E. campJiora. E. ovata and E. camphora 

 especially run into each other in South Australia,
