Ovoid buds. Sandy Creek, 14 miles north of Gilgunnia (R. H. Cambage, No. 

 1,012). See Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. xxvi, 206 (1901). 30 miles north-east of Mt. 

 Hope (R. H. Cambage). 



The following specimens are all west of Bourke, and therefore in as dry country 

 as there is in New South Wales. While not as rostrate-budded as the type, the buds 

 are pointed ovoid in shape, and are not distant from the type. The foliage is rigid, 

 dry, thickish, and with marked venation, as is not to be surprised in such dry country. 



Broken Hill. Normal (Assistant Forester H. W. Garling, No. 23). Euriowie, 

 via Broken Hill (J. E. Carne, per R. H. Cambage). " Glaucous. Stem like E. rostrata,

 (Dr. J. B. Cleland). Gum Creek, Poolamacca, Barrier Ranges (C. J. McMaster). 

 Evelyn Creek, north of Barrier Range. Normal (A. King). Tree of 20-40 feet, diameter 

 1-2 feet. Grey Range, near Tibooburra. Normal (W. Baeuerlen). 



Now we return from the interior, and come to a mountainous region very much 

 nearer the coast. 



" A small tree of 20-30 feet, with smooth, gum-like bark. Wood soft. Leaves 

 long, thin, pendulous, as also its branches, a rare tree in the district." Hargraves and 

 South Hargraves (A. Murphy and J. L. Boorman). In fruit only. Fruits glaucous and 

 not perfectly ripe. A form intermediate between E. rostrata and E. dealbata. Grattai 

 (Mudgee to Wellington) (A. Murphy). 



" From the garden of Mr. Scott, Glendon " (near Singleton) (Dr. L. Leichhardt). 



: ' Blue Gum." White to bluish bark on limbs, rough box-bark on base, Namoi 

 River (Dr. H. I. Jensen). Narrabri (H. Deane, Forest Ranger McGee, J.H.M.).

On the sides of watercourses, plains near Baradine (W. Forsyth). 



White limbs, slaty butt, crooked tree of 15 feet, Gil Gil Creek, Berwrba (E. H. F. 

 Swain, No. 5b). 



At no other place in the district is this gum found, save on the banks of the 

 Gwydir River. Moree. The juvenile leaves broad. (J. L. Boorman). Moree (R. H. 

 Cambage, No. 955). Warialda. Quite normal (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). 



" This appears to me to be E. rostrata; if so, is it not in a peculiar locality, in 

 the heart of Mt. Mitchell scrub (Warialda district), miles from a watercourse? " (W. A. 

 W. de Beuzeville ). My reply was that there is probably underground water. 



Warialda, in fruit, not quite normal. Very short pedicels. Approaching E. 

 dealbata (W. A. W. de Beuzeville, No. 9).

E. rostrata is said to occur on the Tenterfield Creek (H. Deane). I have not 

 seen specimens. 



Banks of the Severn River (C. Stuart). [These are the only two New England 

 localities I know, and the range in New England is worthy of inquiry.]
