Queensland . 



" Broad-leaved Gum." Very large lanceolate leaves. Chillagoe (E. Doran). 

 Very large lanceolate leaves; Pandanus Creek (E. B. Yearwood). 



The specimens of Dr. T. L. Bancroft (July 1909) referred to in Proc. Roy Soc. 

 XLYIII, 79 (1913) are not complete. Tliey are without buds or flowers or fruits in 

 situ, although some fruits were sent " from an old tree." These have short pedicels, 

 longer than typical E. papuana and very much shorter than those of E. grandifolia. 

 On the material available, we have a transit form between the two species, and when a 

 complete set or sets of specimens of the Stannary Hills trees are available, the matter 

 can be reconsidered. Meantime the facies of Dr. Bancroft's material is such that it is 

 placed provisionally with E. grandifolia. 



" Cabbage Gum." Juvenile leaves, which are thinner and more acuminate 

 than the mature ones. The branchlets are quite angular. Croydon, near Gulf (James 

 Gill). " White Wood " or " White Gum." Normanton (Ivie Murchie). 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. clavigera A. Cunn. Already dealt with at p. 184. 



2. With E. papuana F.v.M. Dealt with at p. 198. E. grandifolia may be looked 



upon as having certain characters intermediate between E. clavigera and 

 E. papuana. 



3. With E. alba Beinw. 



Under E. clavigera. at p. 184 it is stated by Mueller that E. alba bears close affinity 

 to E. clavigera. This is not true as regards any of the Angophoroidese, with their 

 characteristic fruits, but Mueller is probably referring to the large juvenile leaf of 

 E. alba (see fig. 6, Plate 106), as compared with that of E. grandifolia (fig. 1, Plate 153). 

 They are both very large, petiolate, and glabrous (different, except in size, from E. 

 clavigera), and although the leaf of E. alba is larger, I have seen a leaf of E. grandifolia 

 quite as large. The fruits of the two species are very different. 



4. With E. Foelschiana F.v.M. 



One must be on one's guard, when only specimens in bud or flower are available, 

 concerning the coarse-leaved Corymbosse and particularly E. Foelschiana, foliage 

 specimens of the two species being sufficiently similar to necessitate caution.
