2. E. oleosa F.v.M., var. glauea Maiden. 



1. See B.FL iii. 216. In the present work (Part XIV. 144) I have referred to 



Dnimmond's 5th coll. No. 186, which Bentham calls E. uncinata Turcz.. var. roslrata 



Bentb. 



A plant with an acuminate or rostrate operculum (though differently shaped) 



is figured at 14a-c, Plate 62, but it is not the same as Drururuond's plant. It is a form 



of E. uncinata. 



2. In Joum. W.A. Nat. Hist. Soc, hi, 171 (1911). See also this work. Part XV, 

 p. 167. 



RANGE, 



We have so long been accustomed to find this species under E. oleosa, that it 

 will be some little time before its range is understood. It has a very wide range in the 

 drier parts of the continent. Thus it is widely diffused in Western Australia, South 

 Australia, and the Northern Territory, and is found, probably not widely, in the Mallee 

 country of Victoria. Many of the Xew South Wales localities, hitherto attributed to 

 E. oleosa, belong to this new species. 



Western Australia.— In Part XV. p. 1 72, of this work, will be found a large number 

 of localities, enumerated under E. oleosa var. glauea, but which belong to this species. 

 All the specimens referred to under page 169 of Part XV (as E. oleosa), from the words 

 " At page 124," to the end of the page (169), and coming from the Murchison district, 

 belong to E. transcontinentalis. The following are new. 



Two specimens collected by B. Helms in the Elder Exploring Expedition. 



(a) Depot Hill (1,500 feet), 70 miles north-west of Fraser Bange, Camp 76, 10th 

 November, 1891. ' We crossed a high stony range covered with big Mallee and Gums " 

 (Official Beport). This is recorded in Proc. Roy. Soc. S.A., xvi, 357, as E. oleosa. 



(b) No. 26a. Camp 56 : Victoria desert, 19th September, 1891. " On this day 

 sand-hills were met with, and also Mallee. On the previous day Desert Gurus ( ? E. 

 eudesinioid.es) and five kinds of Mallee were found.'' (Official Beport.) Becorded in 

 Proc. Roy. Soc. S.A., xvi. 358 ; as E. incrassata. 



Comet Vale, 70 miles north of Kalgoorlie (J.H.M.). 70 miles no^th of 

 Kurrawang, on the Wood-line f.J.H.M.). Tbese two localities are only a few miles 

 apart. 



Kalgoorlie (C. H. Ostenfeld, Nos. 514, 521). 



Bulla Bulling, 42 nhles west of Ka]goorhe (Dr. F. Steward, No. 87), Brae? 

 Bock-M^rriden district (Dr. F. Stoward, No, 14).
