mountain elevations in New England" (New South Wales). It does not, however, 

 ascend to the higher parts of New England, being found in localities of lower or only 

 moderate elevation. 



The most northern locality from which I record it is the Atherton district, 

 northern Queensland. 



Victoria. 



In considering Mueller's record of the Genoa River, eastern Victoria, for 

 E. corymbosa, the same locality practically (as Mallacoota Inlet) is quoted by Mr. Charles 

 Daley in Vict. Nat., vol. xxxiv, p. 135 (January, 1918), but Mr. Daley's paper gives 

 more detailed information as to its range. I have it from East Gippsland, no specific 

 locality (E. Rowe, per C. Walter). 



New South Wales. 



Undoubtedly this species is most developed in this State, occurring from south 

 to north, in hungry, sandstone country, rarely ascending to any great elevation. It is 

 commonly found on the Hawkesbury sandstone formation. It is a common coastal 

 species, and is plentiful on the Blue Mountains till the vicinity of Wentworth Falls 

 i; 1 reached, after which the elevation, which is upwards of 3,000 feet above sea-level, 

 appears to be too great for it. 



I have seen the following historical specimens, probably all from the Sydney 

 district : — 



1. " Eucalyptus corymbosa. Botany Bay. Ex. herb. Lambert. Dr. Smith." 

 A co-type in Herb. Cant. Ex Herb. Lemann. 



2. A very old specimen, in old fashioned handwriting (circa 1800) on label in 

 Herb. Barbey-Boissier " Eucalyptus corymbo sus Cavs " (Cavanilles). 



3. No. 4777, R. Brown (1802-5), " East Coast." 



4. " Bloodwood of the Colonists. Port Jackson. Cunningham." Herb. Cant. 

 ex Herb. Lindl. 



It is exceedingly common about Port Jackson, and on the hungry sandstone, 

 or near the coastal sand, of the County of Cumberland generally. 



Southern localities.— Twofold Bay, Oldfield. Herb. Cant. Specimen in Old- 

 field's handwriting in Herbier Barbey-Boissier. " Bloodwood. Tree 100-150 feet. 

 Bark persistent, rough, brittle. Wood no use from gum-veins." Twofold Bay 

 (Howitt). Bega district (J. V. de Coque). Moruya district (J.H.M. ). Boyne State 

 Forest, near Bateman's Bay (L. Walker). 



Thence northerly along the coast. Jervis Bay (J.H.M. ), also coastally to Port 

 Jackson. 



Heathcote, growing within 20 yards of each other (R. H. Cambage, Nos. 4170 

 and 4171). Both in fruit, and corky scaly. Those of 4170 smaller, more elongate 

 and narrower. 4171 nearly ovoid.
