RANGE. 



It occurs in Western and South Australia, and the Northern Territory. 



The type comes from Mount Pyrton, Western Australia. 



Mueller (Eucalyptographia) states the range thus : — " On the Hammersley 

 Range, ascending on Mount Pyrten (Pyrton) to a height of 2,500 feet (J. Forrest) ; in 

 the Glen of Palms (E. Giles) between the Alice Spring(s) and Lady Charlotte's Water 

 (C. Giles) ; (Charlotte Waters) ; on sand hills near the Upper Finke River and some of 

 its tributaries, particularly Goyder's Creek (Revd. H. Kempe)." 



Western Australia. — Mount Pyrton, up to an elevation of 2,500 feet, Hammersley 

 Range, about 100 miles south west of Nickol Bay. (Plants of NW. Australia in J. 

 Forest's trigonometrical survey of Nickol Bay District, determined by Mueller.) 



Close to this, but a very little further north, we have Fortescue River (W. H. 

 Cusack, 1895, in Herb., Melb.). In flower. Still farther north we have Harding River, 

 which flows into Cossack Bay, near Roeburne (W. H. Cusack, 1895, No. 210 in herb., 

 Melb.). In fruit. (Seems very like E. argillacea). 



' Western Australia " (W. Cuthbertson in herb., Melb.). In early fruit, converted 

 into comparatively large galls. Mr. Cuthbertson collected in 1888, between the 

 Murchison and the Gascoyne, the Acacia that Luehmann later named after him. The 

 Eucalyptus specimen was perhaps collected in the same district. 



Very glaucous. Cavenagh Range, Mount Cooper, W.A. (R. Helms, Elder 

 Exploring Expedition, 30th September, 1891). This would be Camp 65. 



South Australia. — " Very glaucous. Boundary of South and Western Australia," 

 or " S.A. near boundary of W.A.," as Tate and Mueller put it. (R. Helms, Elder 

 Exploring Expedition, 17th July, 1891, Camp 23). See p. 54, Journal of the Expedition. 

 Camp 23 is nearly at the foot of Mount Agnes, and a little south-east of it. It is within 

 the South Australian border, and approximately at the junction of lat. 27° S., and 

 long. 129° E. 



Northern Territory. — The following specimens may or may not have been collected 

 north of lat. 26° (Northern Territory boundary). 



" Central Australia " (Ch. Winnecke in Herb., Melb.). Hardly glaucous. Small 

 flower-buds and flowers. This is evidently the specimen referred to by Mueller in his 

 account of Winnecke's plants, " between lat. 22° 30' and 28° S. and long. 136° 30' and 

 139° 30' E., during his expedition in 1883 " (Proc. Roy. Soe., S.A., viii, 10). At p. 12 

 Mueller says: " On the specimens now collected, the upper leaves become narrow lanceolar 

 continuing opposite or getting scattered." The specimens are hardly glaucous, and 

 have small flower-buds and flowers.
