XLVL E. acacioides A. Cunn. 



Syn. E. viridis R. T. Baker in part. 



I have received specimens of the above from the British Museum (through 

 Dr. A. B. Rendle, F.R.S.) "near Peele's Range, N.S.W. (Oxley's 1st Exped., 1817), 

 No. 203." Two of them were inadvertently labelled E. stricta by the British Museum. 

 Peele's Range is in the neighbourhood of Rankin's Springs. 50 miles westerly of Wvalong, 

 and was first named by Oxley (p. 45). The " Euryalean " brush, near the Range, 

 was named at p. 50. " Mr. Cunningham went up Peele's Range in search of plants 

 and found a few new ones " (p. 66). Peele's Range is different from Peel's Range, 

 Liverpool Plains. 



Allan Cunningham (Barron Field's Geoy. Mem., p. 350) named one of his Blue 

 Mountain plants E. microphylla, and he cannot be held responsible for the act of someone 

 who subsequently mislabelled it E. acacioides in the Hookerian herbarium in the year 

 1835. His E. acacioides was subsequently named E. viridis by Mr. Baker. I have 

 already pointed out that that gentleman first amply described the plant as E. viridis, 

 but I have no power to suppress E. acacioides.
