RANGE. 



New England, New South Wales. I have personally collected it from Yarrowitch 

 to TTaleha, and Mr. Henry Deane near Glen Innes. It also occurs in the Armidale 

 district. " On slate formation at Enmore, head waters of Macleay Eiver, 18 miles east 

 of Uralla " (E, H. Cambage, No. 3780); Swamp Oak (E. H. F. Swain). " On quartz 

 felsite, Mordun Creek, 12-14 miles south-east of Tingha. First record known to me 

 west of the Great Northern Railway Line " (E. H. Cambage, No. 4444, 11th July, 1924). 

 I have also received a specimen from the Botanic Gardens, Ootacamund, India (E. L. 

 Proudlock). 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. acaciceformis Deane and Maiden. 



It is readily distinguished from E. a-caciceformis by the very narrow or linear 

 juvenile leaves. Those of E. acaciceformis are broadly oblong to lanceolate. The fruits 

 of E. Niclioli are also slightly smaller and have more prominent valves than the fruits 

 of E. acaciceformis; the pedicels are also longer and more filiform. The branches of 

 E. Xicholi are more pendulous than those of E. acaciceformis. In Part XLIX, p. 289, 

 there is a note on the drooping branches. The seedling leaves are distinct from those 

 of E. acaciceformis; they are opposite for a larger number of pairs, and linear, not oblong 

 like those of E. acacio?formis . 



2. With E. noua-anglica Deane and Maiden. 



The buds and fruits of E. Nichloi are small, like those of the above species, but 

 they are not glaucous.
