RANGE. 



It seems to be confined to the cold mountain ranges of Victoria and New South 



Victoria.— Summit of Mount Baw Baw (F. von Mueller), with large fruits and 

 almost obliterated peduncles. 



New South Wales.— Tingiringi Mountain, 5,400 feet, forming Mallee scrub, but 

 sometimes single trees 40 feet high ( W. Bauerlen, 20th June, 1887, also No. 195, March, 

 1889); Wollandibby, Jindabyne (W. Bauerlen), 12-15 feet; Little Tindery Mountain, 

 Michelago (J. L. Boorman, January, 1909). Co-type 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. Gunnii Hook. f. 



It appears to be a smaller tree than E. Gunnii, and more frequently Mallee-like 

 in habit. The inflorescence of both species is somewhat alike, but the common peduncle 

 of E. glaucescens is usually much shorter and broader than that of E. Gunnii, while the 

 the buds of the latter are all pedicellate and the operculum is larger. The fruits of both 

 species are also somewhat similar, but those of E. glaucescens are usually larger, closely 

 sessile and more cylindrical than the fruits of E. Gunnii. The latter is confined to 

 Tasmania. 



2. With E. Perriniana F.v.M. 



Both are alpine species and have much in common as regards size, habit, glaucous- 

 ness and inflorescence, but the connate juvenile leaves of E. Perriniana readily separate 

 it from those of E. glaucescens. There is also a marked difference in the shape of the 

 buds and fruits of both species.
