In Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., lii, 501 (1918), I recapitulated the evidence, quoted 

 the figures at Part XXIII of the present work, Plate 100, figs. 8-13, thus making the 

 species quite clear. It may be more correctly described in the following words : — 



A majestic tree, attaining a height of 90-140 feet, and a diameter of 40-60 inches. In rich alluvial 

 flats has a pillar-like trunk, clear of branches for three-fourths of its entire height. Known as " Flooded 

 Gum" because of the situations it prefers, the timber red, in high repute for strength, lightness (it floats 

 in water when dry), and durability. 



Juvenile leaves not seen. 



Mature leaves broadly-lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, petiolate, up to 21 cm. long (say 

 8| inches) and 6 cm. broad (say %\ inches), with numerous fine nearly parallel veins making an angle of 

 about 45 3 with the midrib ; the intramarginal vein not very far removed from the edge. 



Peduncles flattened, about 6 lines long, bearing generally over six flow-ers, pedicel 4 lines long. 



Calyx-tube 2 lines in diameter, tapering into the pedicel. Operculum hemispherical, acuminate. 



Anthers same as those of E. sdlijna. 



Fruits uniformly pear-shaped, on a short, thick pedicel, or sessile, glaucous, about 3 lines in diameter, 

 sometimes angled, rim thin, capsule sunk ; valves exserted, obtuse, white. 



It is figured at Plate 100, figs. 8-13. 



SYNONYM.

Eucalypts," p. 32(1902). 



RANGE. 



It is found irj coastal New South Wales and the Southern Tableland, from Barber's 

 Creek northwards to northern Queensland. As it is not yet well understood even yet, 

 its range shoidd be further inquired into, particularly in regard to the unrecorded gaps 

 from Barber's Creek to Booral, and from southern to northern Queensland. 



New South Wales. 



Messrs. Baker and Smith record it from Barber's Creek, in the Goulburn district, 

 N.S.W., which is much the most southerly locality recorded. 



It was collected by George Caley in the Sydney district (probably somewhere 

 about the Hawkesbury— he did not explore more than 100 miles from Sydney 

 to the south, and probably less to the north) in 1800-1810, 59 being the British Museum 

 number of specimen kindly presented by Dr. A. B. Rendle, F.R.S. Caley stated the 

 native name to be " Calangara."
