RANGE. 



Philippines. Bismarck Archipelago, New Britain: Spacious Bay, J. Turner, 

 following F. v. Mueller. (Type of the species.) Baining Mountains, Matava, twig of 

 a young tree, as well as a flowering branch of an old one, January, 1894 (Anonymous 

 in Herb. Berol !) ; the same locality (Rechinger, n. 5347) ; Gazelle Peninsula (sent by 

 Schmiele to F. v. Mueller, in Herb. Berol !). Without more definite locality 

 (Parkinson !). New Ireland : Namatanai, on the Ouna, a tree 70 m. high in damp 

 forests. Native name " Kumurere '" (Peekel, n. 708 — with young buds and young 

 fruits, on the 19th November, 1910). This reference confirms the record of the Rev. 

 G. Brown mentioned by F. v. Mueller as the first record of a Eucalypt for the Papuan 

 country. He had noticed Eucalypts on his missionary travels in New Ireland. The 

 young leaves (from a tree from Baining Peninsula about 1-3 years old) are somewhat 

 narrower and thinner than those of the old tree, besides being all opposite. (Dr. L. 

 Diels, I.e.)
