211. E. longicornis F.v.M. v: Red Morrel." " A tree of 50 to 80 feet and to 2-3 

 feet diameter, not much branched." (C. A. Gardner, Coolgardie.) Tall Mallee (sic.) 

 of 10-25 feet., branchlets red. No. 2107. Harrismith (C. A. Gardner). A Mallee of 

 8-12 feet, with numerous erect slender stems of 1-2 inches diameter. Bark smooth, 

 light grey-brown, thin, and decorticating in plates. Narrogin (C. A. Gardner, No. 1904). 



97. E. megacarpa F.v.M. Hitherto only known as a tree, and sometimes as a 

 large tree, Mr. C. A. Gardner has found a remarkable Mallee-like form. " It is a true 

 Mallee of 4-10 feet, the bark smooth, silvery and grey in patches, decorticating in large 

 flakes. The fruits are much larger than I have seen on trees, and more flat on the 

 s ummi t, with an expanded rim " (C. A. Gardner). This form occurs on Mt. Toolbrunup, 

 where it is known as " Bullich.'" It is hoped that a full suite of specimens may be 

 collected, to see if it has specific differences from E. megacarpa. 



49. E. microtheca F.v.M. Note on the appearance of this tree in " north-west '' 

 Western Australia (where it is known as " Blackheart "), and where it has a smooth 

 bark as compared with the rough bark of the Kimberley and New South Wales, &c, 

 tree. See C. A. Gardner in Aust. For. Journ., vi, 241 (September, 1923). 



339. E. melanoxylon Maiden. " Black Morrel." " A tree of 50 to 70 feet and 



2 to 2\ feet diameter. (C. A. Gardner, Coolgardie.) 



123. E. miniata A. Cunn. ' Tree of 50-100 feet high ; stem diameter about 



3 feet." (W. V. Fitzgerald, Kimberleys.) " Woolly-butt." " A tree of 30 to 65 feet, 

 with a stout erect trunk of 20 to 40 feet and 2 feet diameter." (C. A. Gardner* 

 Kimberleys, different route.) 



182. E. occidentalis Endl. " Swamp of Flat-topped Yate," A tree of 30-50 

 feet in height, and up to 24 inches diameter. Bark persistent and fibrous, thick and 

 deeply longitudinally fissured on the trunk and bases of the main branches, that of the 

 upper portions of the tree smooth, silver-grey and blotched, decorticating in long thick 

 ribbon-like pieces, which hang around the line of separation of the different types of 

 bark in long persistent ribbons. No. 1911. Wagin Lake (C. A. Gardner). 



73. E. oleosa F.v.M. Following are reports by Mr. C. A. Gardner on two different 

 trees at Coolgardie- Widgiemooltha, W.A. See Part XL, p. 325, for further particulars 

 of this species — 



(1) " Erect or more usually with a straggling trunk, 20 to 40 feet high, with widely 

 spreading rigid branches. Trunk to 15 feet and 18 inches diameter. (2) 

 Apparently a medium-sized tree with a basal diameter of 16 inches, but no 

 trees seen unfelled." 



72. E. oligantha Schauer. " Tree to a height of 40 feet ; stem diameter to 1 foot. 

 In appearance bears a close resemblance to Sterculia decipiens." (W. V. Fitzgerald 

 MSS.)
