SYNONYMS. 



1. E. amygdalina LabilL, var. radiata Bcnth. 



At Part VI, page 152 of the present work, is an annotated list of synonyms believed 

 to belong to E. amygdalina. Those that we know to belong to plants of Tasmanian 

 origin are doubtless E. amygdalina; others may or may not be synonyms of E. radiata 

 Sieb., and this can only be solved by comparison, if desired, with the original material, 

 (often only seedlings). 



2. E. australiana Baker and Smith, Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W. xlix, 514 (1915). 

 See my comments in the same Journ. li ; 461 (1917). 



RANGE. 



It occurs in Eastern Australia, including both Victoria and New South Wales, 

 being found at no very great distance from the coast until 100 miles south of 

 Sydney is reached. It gradually ascends both the southern and northern tablelands, 

 becoming common in New England, increasing in distance from the coast. It is hard 

 to believe that it will not be found about Stantkorpe or in other Queensland localities 

 on the Macpherson Range. 



The Victorian and New South Wales localities given under E. amygdsdina in 

 Part VI, pages 160, 161 of the present work, refer to E. radiata. I have a brief note of 

 the range of E. radiata in Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W. li, 463 (1917). It will be convenient 

 to have the following localities, as represented in the National Herbarium of New South 

 Wales : — 



Vic to hi .\ . 



Lilydale. with filiform pedicels (A. W. Howitt). Upper Yarra, fruits small 

 (J. Staer). Mount Macedon (W. S. Brownscombe, R. H. Cambage). "Narrow-leaved 

 Peppermint." About 50 feet. Daylesford (J. Blackburne, No. 20). 



Following arc rising Gippsland localities : —
