suckers of the normal species appear to be identical with those of the variety triflora, 

 and thai these are shown at 17a and o of Plate 44, and also (as regards a broadish pair) 

 at H of Plate 94 of my "Forest Flora" of New South Wales," it would appear that, 

 considering how much illustrative work remains to be done, E. fraxinoides has been 

 sufficiently illustrated for the present. 



SYNONYM. 



E. virgata Sieb., var. fraxinoides Maiden, in Part IX, p. 278 (1907), of the 

 present work. 



We know E. virgata better now, and that it is synonymous with E. Luehmanniana, 

 see p. 286. At one time E. fraxinoides was considered to be a species closely allied to 

 E. stricta, and also to E. obtusiflora. but with a pointed operculum. 



RANGE, 



So far as we know, this species is confined to New South Wales, but it is very 

 probable it will be found in Victoria, in the mountainous country near the border of 

 the two States. 



The type came from the County of Wellesley. and it is recorded from a number 

 of localities from the County of Auckland, both counties being near the south-west 

 boundary of New South Wales. I expect to find it in the three adjacent northerly 

 counties of Wallace. Beresford and Dampier, but, as a matter of fact, I have only 

 received it from the still more northerly counties of Murray and St. Vincent. It is 

 recorded from some localities in the eastern half of the County of Camden. It probably 

 will be found, when its identity is better understood, that the normal species and its 

 variety will be found to have the same general range, and that that range will be the 

 mountainous eastern part of the State from the Victorian border, at least as far north 

 as the Blue Moimtain Range. 



Tantawanglo Mountain (Henry Deane and J.H.M., 1896). The type. 



' White Ash." Forest Reserve No. 911. Parish Colombo, Count v Auckland. 

 (Assistant Forester Harrison and District Forester Clulee.) ' White Ash." Bemboka 

 Peak (W. Baeuerlen, 1889). Practically the same as the preceding locality. 



About 20 miles east of Nimitybelle, east of the Great Dividing Range, N.E. of 

 head of Kybean River (R. H. Cambago No. 1923). The above four localities are no 

 great distance from each other.
