Many years ago the late Mr. J. G. Luehmann, then in charge of the Melbourne 

 Herbarium, gave me the following fragmentary specimens : — 



a. Leaf (loose), immature buds, fruits and 'seeds. (Mueller, Eoper River.) These 

 are figured, and I look upon these as belonging to the type. The fruits are thin-walled, 

 spotted or mottled, and remind one irresistibly of a bird's egg. 



b. Leaf (loose), immature buds, fruits. (Mueller, Fitzmaurice River), and I 

 look upon these as belonging to a co-type. 



The principal observable difference between these two specimens lies in the fruits. 

 Those of (b) are smaller and greener, but both lie between the 4-6 lines of the original 

 description. 



Further specimens from the Roper River and one belonging to the Abel Tasman 

 River are referred to below, p. 342. 



" On slopes of schisty hills I have collected what I have provisionally called 

 a narrow-leaved form of E. latifolia. E. latifolia (357) had rough bark all the way 

 (see also 411). This form has smooth bark, excepting a little roughness at the base.'"' 

 "Woolngri and other jiear localities (Dr. H. I. Jensen, Nos. 409, 421). 



Umbrawarra (Dr. Jensen, No. 410). 



Dean's Camp, Burrundie (Dr. Jensen, No. 428). "White-barked, small crooked 

 Hill C4um. "White smooth bark, peeling in patches." Juvenile leaves, Burrundie 

 (Dr. Jensen, No. 361). The material of No. 361 is very scanty, and therefore not 

 perfectly satisfactory. The only juvenile leaves available in this species. 



All Dr. Jensen's specimens are from the same general locality. His specimens 

 are specially interesting as regards the fruits. The fruits of Nos. 361, 409, 421, 428, are 

 small, like those of the Fitzmaurice River. They are spotted. Those of 410 are like 

 those of the thin-walled Roper River type, and there are some as small as those of the 

 Fitzmaurice River. In these specimens the two forms seem to combine. 



It is also found at Finke River, Macdonnell Ranges, with Chinese white calyces 

 (Rev. H. Kempe). Compare Persieh, Endeavour River, Q. 



In Ewart and Davies' " Flora of the Northern Territory," p. 313, I tentatively 

 referred the following to E. terminalis F.v.M. in the following words : — 



' The following specimens are identical with specimens included by Mueller 

 under the above species, but the Corymb osse are under revision. 



" 808. Sandstone Ranges between Bauhinia Downs and Tanumbirini, 20th March, 

 1912. Smooth white stem, rusty near ground. Leaves, buds, flowers. 



"120. Macdonnell Ranges, 23rd March, 1911. Leaves, buds, flowers. Near a 

 form formerly named E. ])olycarpa F.v.M." 



I am now of opinion that these two specimens are E. dichromophloia.
