Hill of fine grained granite, Bullock Creek, 20 miles north west of Trundle. With 

 short, almost rounded opercula. It shows affinity to that species in the opercula, but 

 less in the fruits (R. H. Cambage, No. 1,013). 



Dubbo (J. L. Boorman). The common gum of the district, found on both low 

 and high lands, stunted on the tops of the Range. Often Mallee-like. Harvey Range 

 (J. L. Boorman; J.H.M.). Dubbo to Tomingley (J.H.M.). Sandstone ridge, Mudgee 

 road, 4 miles from Dubbo. (R. H. Cambage, No. 1,063). 



Dubbo, Peak Hill and Harvey Range (J.H.M.). A scaly, half-barked tree, but 

 sometimes with bark as smooth as normal tereticornis. The amount of scaly bark 

 varies a good deal. Tree strikingly like Mr. Postlethwaite's " Cabbage Gum." Buds 

 markedly yellow. 



Eremeran, Dandaloo (Forest Ranger Kidston). Buds arranged in form of a 

 rosette or star, like those from Mt. Boppy and some other western localities. Mr. 

 Kidston, a very experienced observer, labels it " Stunted Gum, grows on stony ridges, 

 allied to Mallee." 



These three specimens from the same district will give some idea as to how 

 variable it is : — 



1. " Gum," " Red Gum," " Cabbage Gum." " Grows to an average sized forest 



tree 2 or 3 feet in diameter, very common, and mostly in sandy soil." 

 Gilgandra (L. C. Irby). 



2. " Gum," " Cabbage Gum." " As seen are small bushy trees up to about 1 foot 



in diameter, and 15-20 feet in height." Gilgandra (L. C Irby). 



3. " Gum," " Red Gum," ' ; Cabbage Gum." " This form might be termed a Mallee 



Gum, i.e., several stems growing from the ground in a clump, and is usually 

 very glaucous. In the same locality it will be seen as a small tree, and also 

 near by growing with several stems after the nature of Mallee." Gilgandra 

 (L. C. Irby). 



Gundong or Quandong Creek, a tributary of the Bogan (Rev. G. A. C. Innes). 



Mt. Hope (J. L. Boorman). 



Growing in Mallee form, eight or ten stems from one root, and about 20 feet high. 

 Wirlong Copper Mine, Nymagee (R. H. Cambage, 1,011, see Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 

 xx vi, 204). Nymagee (J. L. Boorman). 



"Red Gum," Byrock (R. H. Cambage); the buds are arranged in the form 

 of a star. 



On igneous hill near Mt. Boppy, the most north-western locality from which Mr. 

 Cambage has collected it. 



Bathurst ( J.H.M. ; Dr. H. I. Jensen). George's Plains, near Bathurst (J.H.M.). 

 With thick, grey, box-like bark. Perth to Apsley (J. L. Boorman). 



" A stunted tree, 15-20 feet high, in barren rocky situations between Wellington 

 Valley and Croker's Range. November, 1828." This is a copy of a label, in Allan 

 Cunningham's handwriting, on a type specimen from the Hookerian Herbarium, 

 presented by Kew to the National Herbarium, Sydney, April, 1901.
