3a. Leaf; 36, starved buds; 3c, normal buds; 3d, fruits. Nyngan, N.S.W. (W. Baeuerlen). These 

 specimens were given to me by Mr. R. T. Baker as typical of his var. borealis, which does not 

 morphologically differ (as Mr. Baker says, p. 68) from normal rostrata. 



4a. Conoid buds; 46, fruits. Nyngan (District Forester C. Marriott). 



5a. Mature leaf; 5b, intermediate leaf ; 5c, buds; 5d, fruits. Banks of the Bogan River, Nyngan (J. H.M.).

7. Intermediate leaf. Moree, N.S.W. (J. L. Boorman). 



8. Leaf, buds and flowers. Glenelg River, Victoria, not far from South Australian border (Mueller). 



This is the type of his var. brevirostris, and it will be seen that it is normal rostrata.

Australia (Max Koch).
