SYNONYMS. 



E. tereticornis Sm. var. sphaerocalyx F.v.M. 



E. tereticornis Sm. var. amblyeorys F.v.M., partly. 



I cannot trace that these names were ever published, but a number of specimens 

 of E. Parramattensis were distributed by Mueller under these names between 1865- 

 1875. The localities of some of them will be given presently. 



E. brevifolia Benth. from New England (now included in E. Bancrojti Maiden), 

 was also distributed by Mueller as E. tereticornis Sm. var. amblyeorys F.v.M.). See 

 Part XXXI, p. 15. 



RANGE. 



The species is confined to New South Wales. 



The author gives the habitats as Fairfield, Cabramatta, Auburn (C. Hall), Milton 

 (R. T. Baker). The first three are a few miles south of Sydney. Milton is on the South 

 Coast, 130 miles from Sydney. 



I have received a specimen, near Public School, Fairfield (coll. C. Hall), and 

 elect to take that as the type. It has often been highly inconvenient to assume that 

 more than one specimen can be the type. 



It occurs, usually on swampy or undrained land, on the southern tableland as 

 far south as Bargo Brush, and coastally as far south as Milton; north-westerly of 

 Sydney it has been found between Mudgee and Cassilis and south of Singleton. This 

 indicates that its specific name has ceased to be as descriptive as was originally believed, 

 and that its peculiar range as at present ascertained is destined to be considerably 

 modified. 



The following two specimens, received from the British Museum of Natural 

 History were collected by George Caley, probably in the Parramatta district. 



(a) " Governor's " (sic) Pendleton, September, 1804. Calgargroo." [Pendleton 

 is a suburb of Salford, near Manchester, where Caley came from, and he often applied 

 in New South Wales, the names of places they reminded him of in his native and ad- 

 joining counties in England. I do not know precisely the site of the New South Wales 

 Pendleton.] 



(b) " Calgargroo. Behind Robinson's Farm, December, 1807. Got from the 

 east " (sic). Or is it " rest," signifying " selected from other specimens? "
