SYNONYMS. 



1. E. viminalis Hook., non Labill. 



2. E. Hookeri F.v.M. 



1. E. viminalis Hook., non Labill., in Mitchell's Joum. Trop. Austral. 157 (.1846). 



Following is a translation of the original : — 



Loaves alternate, glaucous, linear-lanceolate, with short, tliin petioles, somewhat falcate, acuminate 

 at both ends, retieulately veined, the lateral nerves near the margin, the racemes few-flowered and axillary, 



the calyx turbinate and narrowed into a short pedicel A new Eucalyptus, which casts its bark 



in small angular pieces 



I have seen a specimen of the type; it bore the following label : — 



" May '.i. 1846. No. 146. Camp. XIV. Bub-tropical New Holland. Lieut.-Ool. Sir T. L. Mitchell. 

 E. viminalis Hooker. 138. C;>-1s its bark in small angular pieces." 



•2. E. Hookeri F.v.M. 



Following is the original reference in Journ. Linn. Hoc. iii (1859), 90:— 



Eucalyptus bicohr A. Cunn. To tin also E. gracilis anil /<]. Uo6keri{E. bimindlis I look., in Mitchell's 

 Tropical Australia non 1 i bill.) ire allied. 



E. Hookeri is quoted by Bentham in B.F1. iii, 251. This name ought never to 

 have got into Eucalyptus literature at all, and the regret is the greater in that it makes 

 it now more difficult to connect this honoured name with a species of Eucalyptus. 



RANGE. 



In describing the .species, Mueller unfortunately gave the range (for the type) 

 as from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Moretoh Bay. namely, from end to end of Queensland, 

 instead of describing his type from a specific locality. 



Later, in " Eucalyptographia," and it was his own species, he records it " From 

 near the south-eastern shores of the Gulf of Carpentaria (F.v.M.) to the vicinity of 

 Moreton Bay (Dr. Leichhardt), extending to some of the central regions of Australia, 

 thus occurring near the Finke River (Revd. H. Kempe). traced north-eastward to 

 Fitzroy Island (C. Moore) " 



The Finke River specimen is E. papuana, and the others are Queensland localities. 

 It will be seen that later on he extended the range, northerly to Fapua, while I show 

 that southerly it is found over a considerable portion of New South Wales.
