graceful slender tree, often attaining a great size, over 50 feet high. Smooth white 

 bark, occasionally peeling slightly at the base, narrow drooping leaves." 



" The specimen outside the Mines Office at Darwin has a totally different habit, 

 grows on a dry ridge, roughish bark half way up stem, leaves as in the Darwin 

 E. grandifolia specimen and so on." No. 364 is here referred to. 



I have already noted E. grandifolia in its two forms in the Northern Territory; 

 see p. 188. There would appear to be no E. tesselaris in the Northern Territory, but 

 it should be searched for.

Borroloola. " Large tree, white stem." Buds and flowers. At head of 

 Macarthur River, east side of Gulf of Carpentaria (G. F. Hill, No. 685). Quite typical.

1. Leaf of type (Patrick Reedy, No. 139. He was gardener to Sir William 

 Macarthur, Camden Park, Menangle, N.S.W., and accompanied him on the " Chevert" 

 expedition to New Guinea). From Melbourne Herbarium. The type came from the 

 mainland of Papua, opposite to Yule Island, and 12 miles from the coast. 



2. Leaves, for the most part broader than the type, with a sprinkling of hairs 

 on the rhachis. The juvenile leaves broadly lanceolate, with the shortest of petioles. 

 One of the puzzling forms between E. papuana, and E. clavigera. Port Moresby (Prof. 

 Baldwin Spencer). 



Queensland . 



This species is extensively distributed in Queensland, extending considerably to 

 the south, but the precise range is uncertain. Some account of its distribution will be 

 found in the note from Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., XL VII, 77, quoted at p. 193. 



The following is an admirable account of its range and other details. 



" Another Eucalypt cf considerable interest seen around Alma-den was E. papnana F.v.M., 

 (E. tesselaris var. DaUachiana Benth., or E. clavigera var. DallaoMana Maiden). A feature of these trees is 

 that their leaves are often shiny and twisted, or crinkled, thee on small saplings being usually very large, 

 sometimes measuring 11 by 5i inches, but in all cases smooth and petiolate. The bark on the main portion 

 of the trunk is smooth and white, but in this locality (here is sometimes a little roughness on the butt for 

 a height of 6 or 8 Eeet, but in many cases the bark is whit:- to the ground, and turns brown before peeling 

 off. (Plate LVI. fig. 2). The timber is a very dark brown, and the fruits seem intermediate between 

 those df E. tesselaris and E. clavigera, being up to 1 cm. long by 7 mm. in diameter, with pedicels of 3 to 4 

 mm. Neither buds nor flowers were obtained. These trees appeared to be quite distinct from those of
