118. E. acaciceformis Deane and Maiden. 



On quart z-felsite, Moredun Creek, 12-14 miles south-east of Tingha, New South 

 Wales. The first record known to the finder west of the Great Northern railway line 

 (R. H. Canibage, No. 4444, July, 1924.) 



26. E. acmenioides Schauer. 



New South Wales. — Very common throughout the district (Ramornie, Upper 

 Clarence River), and usually on the light soils in association with E. corymbosa and 

 E. tereticornis. Keeps very largely to the mountain tops, and to the cool sides also- 

 (W. F. Blakely and D. W. Shiress). 



Queensland. — Dr. H. I. Jensen gives the following notes on its occurrence in 

 this State:— ' Stringy bark.' Calciphobe. In sandy soil, on sandstone, shallow, dry- 

 soil tablelands. At head of Dawson tributaries, head of Maranoa ; chiefly on Bundamba 

 sandstone and other siliceous sandstones. It is associated with Casuarina inophloia> 

 Lysicarpus temifolia and E. decorticans, also with Xylomelum pyriforme and 

 E. traehphloia." 



136. E. alba Reinw. (E. platyphjlla F.v.M.) 



A Cabbage gum of moist, sandy loam overlying sandstone and quartzite, Lennard 

 River, near Lukin's Old Station, Chamley and Ord Rivers, Dillen's Springs, Western 

 Australia. (W. V. Fitzgerald.) 



Banks of the Upper Drysdale River near Mount Hann, in sandy soil in basaltic 

 country, forming open savannah with E. Spenceriana, but never far from the river; 

 from thence south-west in the direction of Mount Agnes in low-lying flat country, with 

 the same associate tree. (Kimberleys, C. A. Gardner, No. 1566.) 



On enquiring whether he thought that E. platyphylla is a synonym, Mr. Gardner 



replied : — 



E. alba, although apparently common in the eastern and southern Kimberleys, is comparatively 

 scarce in the western portion. The specimens in the Departmental herbarium are from the Upper Drysdale 

 River. I saw other trees near the Calder and Prince Regent Rivers, and a small forest on the Upper Charnley 

 River, but could observe no differences in the leaves or flowers. I think that all the trees seen by me were 

 E. alba, and that E. platyphylla is probably a synonym. 



Tree of 40 feet, banks of Katherine River, Northern Territory. (C. E. F. Allen, 

 No. 681, the E. pastoralis of S. le M. Moore.) 



Dr. H. I. Jensen says : — 



E. alba is widespread on the flats throughout North Queensland. It is the typical Poplar Gum of 

 the Northern Territory ; grows on heavy grey clay soil. The dwarfed hill variety of E. alba, which I regarded 

 in the Northern Territory as a different species, has not been observed by me at all in North Queensland. 



He adds that it is calciphile on heavy loams and heavy subsoil, from Central railway, Queensland, 

 to far north. It is mostly on alluvial and detrital flats, associated with E. terminalis and E. grandifolia .
