" Spotted Gum." " Bark contains nearly 45 per cent, of tannic principle." 

 Near Pingelly (W. V. Fitzgerald). The type. In immature bud and fruit, and proper 

 comparison with these particular specimens is not entirely satisfactory. 



" Tree 30 feet or more. Smooth white bark." Near Cut Hill, York (0. H. 

 Sargent, No. 359, 360, 763). " Species No. 359 I have found only on ironstone. 

 Apparently it does not spread to the adjacent sand, which is occupied by E. redunca, 

 a tree very similar in general appearance. Nor have I found it in the clayey soil on 

 the other side of the hill where E. redunca, E. calophylla, and E. loxophleba occur. 

 Height, 20-40, or, perhaps, 50 feet. Bark white or pale salmon." (O. H. Sargent). 

 " Spotted Gum." " Tree of 30 feet with smooth, white pulverulent bark, bearing 

 patches of brown dead bark." Cut Hill, York (O. H. Sargent, No. 733, a, b, c). 



" Powder Bark." " Tree about 40 feet. Trunk smooth, opaque, buff-white, 

 outer layer of bark readily rubbing off as a fine white powder." Ironstone hillock, 

 Talbot Brook, near York. A moist locality. (O. H. Sargent, No. 762). '' Tree about 

 30 feet. Smooth white trunk and branches, with adherent brown patches of dead 

 bark." Mt. Bakewell, near York (O. H. Sargent, Nos. 757, 758). " Tree of 20-30 

 feet, smooth white or salmon bark on trunk and branches." Summit of Mt. Bakewell, 

 York (O. H. Sargent, No. 701). 



Mr. Sargent's specimens from Mt. Bakewell, which is about 3 miles from York, 

 enable the following specimen collected by Mueller to be identified as E. accedens. 

 "Cortex albo-colorans. Var., operculo obtusato. Fol. opaco. E. redunca (?)" 

 Mt. Bakewell (Mueller, Nov., 1877). 



" Powder-bark Wandoo," or simply " Powder-bark." Tree 80 to 90 feet and 

 up to 3 to 4 feet in diameter. Of commercial value on account of its durability for 

 naves and felloes for wheelwright work." Reserve No. 14275, near Coates, Eastern 

 Railway (Dr. F. Steward). Dr. Stoward adds : " Grows throughout Baker's Hill 

 locality generally, on elevated, rough, ironstone country." Mr. A. H. Smith, Apiarist, 

 and Mr. W. C. Grasby, Western Mail, send it from Baker's Hill, near Clackline. Called 

 also " Bastard White Gum " (W. C. Grasby). 



The following localities are near Perth : — 



' Tree 40-50 feet, 3| feet diameter. Bark coming off in small sheets or strips, 

 reddish, mottled with grey, smooth. Leaves glaucous, wood hard, dark red (sic). 

 Flowers apparently white; in fruit. Ironstone gravel, bed rock amphibolite. Near 

 Greenmount, Darling Range (W. V. Fitzgerald, May, 1901). Received from Mr. Fitz- 

 gerald as E. foecunda Schauer. " Powder-bark Wandoo." Werribee, Darling Range 

 (Dr. F. Stoward.) 



The following specimen brings the range of E. accedens about 200 miles north 

 of the Perth district, and it would be desirable to look for intermediate localities. 



" Leiophloiae. 50 feet. Dry sandy hills, Greenough and Irwin Rivers. Near 

 E. grossa and E. redunca.'" (Mueller).
