" Croker's " is in Wells' Gazetteer (1848) denned as " Native name Wane ; a range 

 of mountains situated in the district of Wellington, between Goobang Creek and the 

 river Byrne." Croker's appears to have dropped out of modern maps ; Goobang Creek 

 flows near the modern Parkes. 



" Clean bark, somewhat mallee-like." Fruit with a sharp rim, reminiscent of 

 E. rostrata. Wellington (Dr. J. B. Cleland). " Grey Gum of Mernndee, between 

 Wellington and Mudgee, on low flats." (A. Murphy). Capertee, nearly typical (J. L. 

 Boorman). 



" Tall, umbrageous trees, 50-80 feet high, with large boles of sound timber. 

 Growing on flats and stony ridges throughout the district. With long pedicels. Foliage 

 coarse. A form intermediate between E. dealbata and E. tereticomis. Hargraves (A. 

 Murphy and J. L. Boorman). 



Stunted Gum on the hills near Mudgee (Rev. Dr. Woolls). One of the so-called 

 White Gums from the neighbourhood of Bathurst and Mudgee (see further notes in 

 Woolls' Flora of Australia p. 228). Mudgee (A. G. Hamilton, No. 53). Barrigan 

 Ranges, Bylong (R. T. Baker) and Two Mile Flat (? 31 miles from Mudgee) (Rev. Dr. 

 Woolls). Lanceolate leaves and large buds, a robust ferm. 



" Creek Gum." Eight miles past Dunedoo, along railway line, in damp situations. 

 Longish leaves, free growing, doubtless because of favourable conditions. Not quite 

 normal. (A Murphy). 



Timor Rock, Coonabarabran (J. L. Boorman). "Small plants of less than 20 

 feet high, growing in cold, exposed places, the plants forming large shrubs rather than 

 small trees, having no leading stem. In company with Acacia triftera.'" Coonabarabran 

 (J. L. Boorman). Top of Nandi Hill, near Coonabarabran. Practically all the leaves 

 of this specimen short and broad, or on the broad side, but a few on the tips of the 

 branches narrow. Flower-heads dense. An interesting mountain form (W. Forsyth). 



(a) " Silver-leaved Gum with blue bark peeling off at base." 



(b) " Ironbark {sic), grey bark, furrows not deep, fibrous." 



Both specimens with longish, broadish leaves, evidently from similar trees, 

 although the fruits of (b) are inclined to be more elongated. Bugaldi, 8 miles from 

 Coonabarabran (Dr. H. I. Jensen). 



" So-called Yellow Box. Rough bark to topmost branches, not unlike Stringy- 

 bark in bark and leaf. Occurs usually in association with Black Pine on very sandy soil. 

 On red sandy loam, good wheat land. The true Yellow Box (E. melliodora), often has a 

 ragged, variable bark, and it is not unusual, particularly in northern New South Wales, 

 for other species to be confused with it. Some of the long, broadish leaves of No. 74 

 are more or less triplinerved, which helps the delusion. Baradine " (Dr. H. I. Jensen, 

 No. 74). " This Gum has a spotted or smooth bark; large tree, with large (broadish, 

 J.H.M.) leaves and broader sucker leaves. Accompanies Pine, Apple, Box, on good 

 red sandy wheat land. Baradine " (Dr. H. I. Jensen, No. 8). Lanceolate leaves. 

 On the plains near Baradine (W. Forsyth).
