Following is a form intermediate between E. Moorei and E. stellulata. " A 

 Mallee up to 10 feet high. 1-5 inches in diameter, bark smooth, pale grey. Suckers 

 broader than the type of E. Moorei''' On eastern side of Great Dividing Range, head 

 of Tuross River, about 16 miles easterly from Nimitybelle (R. H. Cambage, No. 1981). 



Extended inquiry will find many more additional localities on the Southern 

 Tableland, and I should be surprised not to find it on the Northern Tableland. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. stellulata Sieb. 



This is very close, and it has been long looked upon as a variety of that species. 

 The forms are, however, sharply separated by the broad juvenile foliage of E. stellulata. 

 The mature foliage of E. stellulata is also, as a rule, much broader, while E. stellulata 

 attains the dignity of a medium-sized tree. 



2. With E. strieta Sieb. 



Its affinity to the narrow-leaved form of E. strieta Sieb., has already been indicated 

 by Bentham (B.F1. iii, 201) (see figures 12 and 13a, Plate 43 of this work), and, when 

 mature leaves are alone available, it is very difficult, and perhaps ordinarily impossible 

 to distinguish the two species. The juvenile leaves, buds and fruits, however, sharply 

 separate them. 



[No figure of E. Moorei is necessary in this Part, from what has been said.]
