' : Smooth whitish bark, 50-100 feet, growing in Albury, near the Murray; called 

 Red Gum (rostrata), but trunk rougher, bark falling in strips on upper limbs." Very 

 close to E. rostrata, but buds and fruits not quite normal, showing some affinity to E. 

 dealbata. It is placed here to emphasise the affinity of these two species. (Rev. J. W. 

 Dwyer, No. 109). Broadish lanceolate leaves, branchlets free growing. Doubtless 

 similar to the preceding. Albury (R. T. Baker). 



Leaves lanceolate; trees of medium size. Experiment farm, Bomen, near 

 Wagga Wagga (R. Helms; J.H.M.). Some with broader leaves on the Farm both on 

 the granite hills and on the flats (Dr. H. I. Jensen). 



A pedicellate form, in fruit only, which, in my view shows transition between 

 E. dealbata and E. rostrata. Carabost, Tumbarumba (R. H. Cambage, No. 1,015). 



" Fairly robust trees, not tall, about 30 feet high, in cold exposed places. Bark 

 flaky and falling away in pieces." Leaves broadish to lanceolate. Tumut (J. L. 

 Boorman). With mostly long, lanceolate leaves, but some shorter and broader. 

 Opercula very attenuate. Tumut (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). " Fairly tall trees on 

 stony ridges at high altitudes. Bark generally bluish white, but patchy in appearance, 

 giving the stems a mottled appearance." Leaves lanceolate. Gilmore, near Tumut. 

 (J. L. Boorman). A very drooping gum, resembling a Weeping Willow. Lanceolate to 

 broadish leaves. Apparently growing in favourable conditions. Tumut (Forest Ranger 

 Meecham). 



" White Gum." Broadish leaves. Adelong Crossing (Rev. Dr. Woolls). 



Queanbeyan. Lanceolate leaves and narrow fruits. Showing some transit to 

 E. tereticornis (Henry Deane, No. 407; J. L. Boorman) Federal Capital Site, 

 Queanbeyan, with the insect galls (dipterous family Agromyzidae). Lanceolate leaves. 

 Beaked opercula (R. H. Cambage, No. 2,936). Acton Paddocks, No. 14. Mount 

 Stromlo, No: 12. Both lanceolate leaves. " Blue Gum," Hospital Ridge, Canberra. 

 No. 22. Broadish leaves with above insect galls. All three from Federal Territory 

 (C. Weston). 



Gundaroo. Buds with the usual galls (Rev. J. W. Dwyer. No. 15). Yass (Rev. 

 J. W. Dwyer, No. 62). Same as preceding. (No. 2 shows variation). 



; White Gum." Coarse, broadish, long lanceolate leaves. On flats, Bowning 

 (A. Murphy). 



" From the Forest Reserve on which Mr. Colemane (Eucalyptus oil manufacturer) 

 originally operated." 



Mr. Murphy says that Mr. Colemane used to fell this tree for Eucalyptus oil, and 

 would not fell the E. tereticornis alongside. 



T. S. & C. Rs. 44,220 and 44,221 in County of Harden, about 2j miles from 

 Bowning Railway Station, called " Blue Gum "locally. " A moderate sized tree up to 

 about 3 feet in diameter, and grows to a height of about 75 feet, and does not produce a 

 long bole ; a 30 feet log would be rare. It is a most durable timber for bridge -work, 

 fencing, &c." (District Forester Williams). 



Yamma Creek, Muttama Station, Cootamundra to Gundagai (G. Singleton). 

 Leaves lanceolate to broadish. Cootamundra (W. D. Francis).
