LIX. E. Caleyi Maiden. 



See Part XII, p. 95. 



Synonyms. 



1. E leueoxylon F.v.M. var. pallens Benth. (B.F1. iii, 210), through Mueller's 

 confusion of his E. leueoxylon with E. sideroxylon A. Cunn. This is explained in Part XII, 

 pp. 84, 88, 91, 96. 



2. The above is quoted without reservation as E. sideroxylon A. Cunn., var. 

 pallens Benth., by Baker and Smith in "Research on the Eucalypts," Ed. I, p. 161, 

 but Bentham never said so, so far as I am aware, and therefore the correct citation 

 involving E. sideroxylon should be E. sideroxylon var. pallens Baker and Smith. 



3. E. ecerulea Baker and Smith. " Stunted Ironbark," Murrumbo, N.S.W., 

 December, 1893 (R, T. Baker), at p. 271 " Research on the Eucalypts," 2nd Ed. 



Some statements with the object of proving that E. coerulea is not E. Caleyi will 

 be found at pp. 271 and 272, op. tit., but I have for many years endeavoured to find a 

 difference and have failed. These authors, it seems to me, make insufficient allowance 

 for variation from type through changed environment in the case of E. Caleyi. I have 

 had careful drawings made of the type of E. ecerulea, but as I have been unable to show 

 any essential difference between them and those of E. Caleyi in Plate 56, I could find no 

 justification in publishing them. Some day oils of E. Caleyi from different sources will 

 be obtained, and they will be compared with various oils from reputed E. ecerulea. 



RANGE. 



See Part XII. p. 95. " Stunted Ironbark," Murrumbo, Rylstone (R. T. Baker, 

 December, 1893), is at p. 96 quoted by me, and this is the plant which forms the type 

 of.-E. ecerulea. It extends from the Upper Hunter, N.S.W., to southern Queensland; 

 the range in the latter State requires further investigation.
