Mr. J. L. Boornian and I fomid this form at Jennings, on the New South Wales- 

 Queensland border. It is a large scrambling tree, growing amongst masses of granite ; 

 branches rather rotten : fruits broad-rimmed. It is in every way similar to Charles 

 Stuart's specimens, both Xos. 127 and 30S. 



Mr. Boorman found trees at Emmaville, which he thus described : " Large trees 

 growing throughout the district with a patchy bark (after the fashion of E. punctata), 

 leaves long, glaucous ; suckers, ovate to oblong : buds, long cylindrical, but rather 

 pointed; fruits, with prominent valves." The specimens seen by me have the leaves 

 for the most part small and short, the opercula longish and pointed. Emmaville 

 (Jx L. Boorman). 



The same form, as Emmaville. has been found by Mr-. B. H. Cambage at. Tingha. 

 The buds, while the calyx is still of greater diameter than the operculum, have the 

 operculum as long as that of E. amplifolia Xaudin (Swamp Gum). Some of the opercula 

 are blunt. (B. H. Cambage, Xo. 1007). 



Howell, near Tirigha and Inverell, with large, lanceolate leaves. Opercula 

 blunt. (J.H.M., J. L. Boorman). 



" Large trees having a bluish white stem, with irregular patches of bark 

 adhering, showing a mottled stem. Stems large, containing abundance of good 

 timber, the principal sort in the district. In flats of a rich alluvial character." Guyra 

 (J. L. Boorman). 



Forest Reserve 35,664. Ph. Ironbark, Barraba-Bundarra. Leaves becoming 

 lanceolate; opercula blunt. (W. A. W. de Beuzeville.) 



Ph. Terrergee, Co. Courallie. With lanceolate leaves. Xo opercula. (E. H. F- 

 Swain.) 



Mount Lindsay Station, 3200 feet, Xandewar Mountains. Like both 127 and 308, 

 as regards the leaves, and also the blunt opercula. (R. H. Cambage, Xo. 2355). 



' White Gum " Warialda. Leaves lanceolate. Opercula blunt (W. A. W. de 

 Beuzeville). 



Queensland. 



Stanthorpe, Queensland, with lanceolate leaves, opercula blunt, and also 

 beginning to be elongated. (Rev. J. H. Simmonds). 



Xew South Wales. 

 It will now be convenient to follow the species along the coast of Xew South Wales. 



Coastal localities. — " Orange Gum." " Grows in swampy localities." Kew. 

 Camden Haven (J. T. Moore, Acting Assistant Forester). Lanceolate leaves, elongated 

 opercula, smallish fruits. The buds have elongated opercula, and the fruits more cbsely 

 resemble those of E. tereticornis than those of E. Bancrofti. In a word, this form shows 

 transit between the two species named, though it is closest to E. Bancrofti, and indeed, 

 belongs to that species. 



Then we come to the " Orange Gum/' growing on ironstone and serpentine soil 

 at Honeysuckle Flat, Port Macquarie. There are a few hundred trees, attaining no 

 great size — say, 18 inches to 2 feet in diameter, 12 feet to first fork, and 30 feet high.
