RANGE. 



I only know it from three localities, all in New South Wales. It has been usually 

 confused with E. stricta, and even yet it is but imperfectly known, but further localities 

 will, I am confident, soon be recorded. The Pigeon-House and the Nerriga-Sassafras 

 localities are both in the County of St. Vincent, and the latter is perhaps 25 miles north 

 of the former. The Blackheath locality is a considerable distance further north. There 

 is no doubt it is destined to be found frequently in the mountainous counties -of 

 St. Vincent, Murray, Argyle, Camden, Westmoreland and Cook. 



The following extract is taken from my " Forest Flora of New South Wales," 

 xxv, 87 (1907) :— 



Top of Pigeon-house Mountain (2,360 feet), near Milton (II. H. Cambage). 



A small tree, a White Ash. 



Mr. Cambage's note is — " Bark dark, rough at base, then tones off. Lower 

 part only a little rough. Not even as rugged as E. pilularis." 



" A tall tree of 40-60 feet high. Bark of a stringy nature, not corrugated. 

 Reminds one of that of E. Consideniana. Grows in the vicinity of Mountain Ash (E. 

 Sieberiana). Nerriga-Sassafras — Nowra road (J. L. Boorman). This specimen has 

 fully ripe shining fruits. 



Blackheath (J. H. Maiden, January, 1905), as E. virgata var. stricta (arboreal 

 form in part), as already indicated. 



" The fruits of the arboreal form of striata from Blackheath are also sessile, and 

 are akin to this form. It would be desirable to ascertain, over large areas of country, 

 to what extent the arboreal form of var. stricta has sessile fruits in threes."
