Western Australia. 

 " Grey Mallee," Eucla. (J. H. Batt and S, Oliver in Herb, Melb. ) 



Kalgoorlie (Dr. J. B. Cleland). On the Kurrawang wood line, at a distance of 

 nearly 70 miles north of Kurrawang, I found a large tree, known as " Snap and Rattle 

 Gum," in abundance. The Kurrawang form (and it is common in the drier parts of 

 Western Australia) is over 2 feet in diameter, but not tall, and grows in divaricate 

 clumps, but not Mallee like. 



It has flaky (thin Box-like) bark at butt, smooth above, and like so many of the 

 gold-fields Euealypts, a deep cigar-brown timber. In the Kurrawang district it is always 

 a rotten tree, not of much account as a fuel wood, being full of pipe and dirt. It gives 

 great heat and hence good for loco, fuel, but it is too dwarf and crooked for the mines.

' Tree about 8 m. (26 feet) high, with minute, white flowers. Southern Cross in 

 limoso-lapidosis, 19th May, 1901." (L. Diels, No. 2843). See Plate 12 (g, h, i). " 332, 

 Eucalyptus yilgarnensis Diels. Yilgarn and Coolgardie Gold-fields; in very open woods, 

 May, 1901." (E. Pritzel.) 



Coolgardie (Nos. 100 and 101, 1899; R. Helms). Sap-green leaves, very shiny; 

 fruits small, pear-shaped, constricted at the mouth, but not ripe; operculum a little 

 pointed. See Plate 12 (I; I). 



Fifty miles west of Golden Valley, W.A. (E. Merrall, 1888; in Herb. Melb.). 



Tree of 20 feet, Kunnunoppin (Dr. F. Steward. No. 149). 



" Known as Morrel in the district. A tall tree of 50 or 60 feet, trunk with rough 

 persistent baric, upper branches smooth. Grows in forests, amongst Gimlet (E. salubris) 

 and Salmon Gum (E. salmonophloia), but more plentiful than the other so-called Morrel. 

 No. 1041, E. longicornis. Cow Cowing (Max Koch, No. 989 and 986). 



Tammin(Dr. C. H. Ostenfeld, No. 511). Cunderdin(W. V. Fitzgerald). 



" Parker Gum " of the new settlers, but erroneously so. Yields a hard timber 

 which does not crack in the sun, and is used as swingle-trees, &c, by the settlers; if 

 put in the ground it is quickly attacked by white ants. It occurs in the patches of good 

 land which are found at intervals along the course of the Salt River— strung upon the 

 river, so to speak, " like beads on a string." Near Salt River, 10 miles east of County 

 Peak, Beverley. (H. St. Barbe More, through H. O. Sargent, No. 708.)
