Then we have it from near Warangering, Elder Exploring Expedition (R. Helms, 

 November, 1891). The expedition would be then in the Coolgardie district, but I do 

 not know the latitude and longitude of Warangering. The filaments dry reddish brown, 

 and were probably crimson when fresh. 



It appears to be similar to the following : — " Pink Mallee," " Hillgrove," Yardin, 

 Quairading — Bruce Rock Railway (C. Smith, communicated by W. C. Grasby). This 

 has beautiful crimson filaments, and is very decorative. It is a crimson-flowering form 

 of a variety whose filaments are normally cream-coloured to yellow, and adds another 

 to the long list of bi-coloured species and varieties. Its branchlets are glaucescent. 



We have another specimen collected by Mr. R. Helms in the Elder Exploring 

 Expedition, viz., at Camp 63, on 27th September, 1891. The Expedition was then in 

 the Victoria Desert, a few miles south-east of Queen Victoria Spring (the Expedition 

 was at the Spring on the 25th). The soil was recorded as clayey-sand, and the specimen 

 was labelled " Eucalyptus, No. 11," being one of a number of species of this and other 

 genera that Mueller and Tate did not come to a decision about. Its height is given 

 as 25-35 feet, showing that var. eremophila may attain the dignity of a fair-sized tree, 

 and that it does not always remain a shrub. 



" Tree of 30-40 feet. Smooth scaly bark. 140 miles east of Kalgoorlie, on the 

 Transcontinental Railway Survey (Henry Deane). With rather large fruits and lan- 

 ceolate leaves (see fig. 11, Plate 149). This is the most easterly locality for var. 

 eremophila so far. 



Going south we have it from between Norseman and Esperance in fruit only 

 (Dr. L. Diels, No. 5831). 



Turning west from the Coolgardie district, we have it from Bruce Rock, Merriden 

 district (Dr. F. Stoward, Nos. 37 and 38); also Totadjin (Dr. F. Stoward, No. 41); also 

 Kellerberrin (F. H. Vachell), which is the furthest recorded western locality on the 

 railway line. Then we have it from very much further north, " Tall shrub, Watheroo 

 rabbit fence, on sand plains" (Max Koch, No. 1610). This Watheroo is a railway 

 station on the Midland Railway. 



The following specimen is from a locality much to the south-east of any other 

 specimen of var. eremophila recorded : — 



Growangerup, 30 miles east of Broome Hill (W. C. Grasby). This is very near 

 to var. eremophila, but the leaves are not so glossy, and the pedicels are more 

 slender and rather longer. 



Note on E. erythronema Turcz., var. Roei Maiden. 



This was founded on a sheet of specimens in the Vienna Herbarium, and is re- 

 ferred to in Part IV, p. 110, and Part XXII, p. 24, of this work. Having further investi- 

 gated the matter, I confirm my previously expressed opinion that the material on the 

 sheet i? mixed, and say that the twig with buds is E. erythronema Turcz., while the 

 fruits are those of E. occidentalis Schauer, var. eremophila Diels. The supposed variety 

 Boei therefore falls to the ground.
