Queensland. This Gum tree begins to appear about Rockhampton, and soon is the prevailing tre P , 

 on the poor, dry, sandy land of the tropics ... It grows on the .poorest sandy soil and does not seem 

 to require much moisture, though doubtless, being in the tropics, it gets a good deal more than it would be 

 likely to receive in more temperate portions of Australia. (Rev. J. E. Tenison- Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc, 

 N.S.W., VII, 332), as E. platyphylla. 



334. E. angulosa Schauer. 



Near Ravensthorpe, Western Australia, March, 1921. (W. F. Hooton, through 

 C. A. Gardner, No. 1853). 



42. E. bicolor A. Cunn. 



I have received from the British Museum (Dr. A. B. Rendle, F.R.S.) the 

 following : — 



No. 200. Strangford's Plains, Allan Cunningham, in Oxley's First Expedition, 

 1817. 



No. 201. Lachlan River, same Expedition. 



Turning to Oxley's work, we find— 



The plains south of the (Maoquarie) river, and lying from Goulburn's to Macquarie's Range, were 

 named Strangford Plains ... (p. 80). Within one hundred yards of the bank of the river, and there 

 alone, were seen the only timber trees we had met with in the country, if huge, unshapen Eucalypti, 

 which would not afford a straight plank ten feet long, may be so denominated, (p. 83). 



These trees were probably E. bicolor. Compare also Part XI, p. 6 (footnote) of 

 the present work. 



257. E. Blaxlandi Maiden and Cambage. 



New South Wales. — " 97 mile-post on the Sydney- Goulburn road. On the eastern 

 or lower side of the road. At Hanging Rock, a good deal of it. Long, straight trees. 

 Yield excellent timber." (Andrew Murphy.) 



41. E. Bosistoana F.v.M. 



There is plenty (or there was some years ago), from Bairnsdale eastwards, especially along the valleys 

 of the lower reaches of the Mitchell, Nicholson, and Tambo Rivers, and on the higher country near Buchan, 

 as well as around C'uninghame and the shores of Lake Tyers. There are also fairly large quantities still, 

 eastward of Orbost, in the valleys of the Cann and Genoa Rivers, and in lesser quantities in some of 

 the smaller river valleys between these rivers, and at a few points on the shores of Mallacoota Inlet. 

 (H. Hopkins, Bairnsdale, Victoria). 



157. E. brachyavdra F.v.M. 



North-west Australia. An inhabitant of rough sandstone ranges and gorges, occurring in rocky, 

 frequently unaccessible, situations, and usually in rocky crevices in scanty soil. It extends northwards 

 from the Artesian Range to the vicinity of Napier Broome Bay, being restricted to the sandstone formations. 

 (Kimberleys, C. A. Gardner, see also Part XXX, p. 220).
