Richmond (Henry Deane). Near Public School, Agnes Banks, near Richmond 

 (A. Farlow). 



Now we go south. 



Thirlmere, near Picton (Walter Cambage). " Weeping Gum." Shepherd's 

 Swamp, Hill Top (J.H.M.). 



" Weeping Gum. Pendent tree, of 30-40 feet. Bark like Blue Gum. Found 

 in aqueous situations, very partial. Bargo Brush." (Louisa Atkinson, August, 1865.) 

 " Labelled E. viminalis var. by Bentham." Bargo Brush is between Picton and 

 Mittagong. The following locality is much more south, but is on the coast, not on the 

 tableland. Milton (R. T. Baker). 



The following localities are great jumps to the north-west from Richmond, 

 Nepean River, the nearest previous records :— 



" Timber brittle and locally regarded as of little value." Howe's Valley, 36 

 miles south-west of Singleton (R. H. Cambage, No. 1526). 



Near Green Hills, Cassilis to Mudgee (R. H. Cambage, No. 2719). 



AFFINITIES. 



l. With E. teretieornis Sm. 



" This species has evidently been confused with E. teretieornis, a tree common 

 in the neighbourhood in which it grows. The fruits of this tree are quite distinct from 

 those of E. teretieornis and its varieties, for the rim, instead of being domed, is rounded 

 like the edge of a pudding-basir»,a feature that characterises it from any other species " 

 (C. Hall). 



The labels already quoted show that E. Parramattensis has been included in 

 E. teretieornis (as a named variety), but that was before I carved some species out of 

 the latter and more strictly defined it. See the last and present Parts. 



I agree that it is a valid species, and had intended to deal with it when the 

 E. teretieornis group was reached in this work. 



E. teretieornis is a sound tree of erect habit; E. Parramattensis is the reverse. 

 The juvenile leaves of E. teretieornis are broad and its opercula long (there are exceptions); 

 those of E. Parramattensis are narrow and short respectively, by comparison. 



Dr. Hall draws attention to the rounding of the rim of the fruit, like the edge of 

 a pudding-basin. This is a rim which is part of the calyx-tube, and is not part of the 

 rim proper as in E. exserta (see footnote, p. 33), E. teretieornis and other species.
