that is to say, the buds which form at the end of one summer bloom during the next. 

 (Nothing, however, is said as to the way in which the White Gum, E. redunca, bloom 

 differs from that of the Powder-bark, E. accedens. J.H.M.). 



" Powder-bark grows on the barren, gravelly, dry hill-tops." (E. redunca 

 usually grows on flats, or at all events not on hill-tops. J.H.M.) (Mr. A. H. Smith, 

 Apiarist, of Baker's Hill, near Clackline, to Mr. W. C. Grasby). 



2. With E. foecunda Schauer. 



"... from E. foecunda, Schauer, in the shape of the leaves, the anthers 

 not being ovate, ovary not flat-topped, in the comparatively broader fruits, and the 

 broader obtusely-pointed valves." (Original description.) Additional evidence that 

 the two species may resemble each other is found in the fact that Mr. Fitzgerald sent 

 me the species he later described as E. accedens as E. foecunda from the Darling Range 

 (Perth district). 



The two species are sharply separated by the rough bark and brown timber 

 of E. foecunda and the smooth bark and red timber of E. accedens. (See also Plates 21 

 to 23, Part IV, for E. foecunda.) 



3. With E. incrassata Labill. 



In Part IV of the present work, at p. 98, with drawings at Plate 21, we have 

 varieties punticulata Benth. and (?) rhodophloia Benth., of E. dumosa A. Cunn. 

 (Whether E. dumosa is a variety of E. incrassata or not, I will discuss in a subsequent 

 Part.) These varieties are very imperfectly known, and I invite attention to them,. 

 in order that, if full material becomes available, we may be able to define their affinity 

 to E. accedens.
