Neiv South Wales. — The District Forester at Moruya reports that Parish Wallagoot, 

 county of Auckland, is the most southerly area of Spotted Gum (E. maculata) country 

 known to him (September, 1920). Base of Mount Dromedary to coast, south of Corunna 

 Lake (E. Reader, 19th July, 1880.) In Melbourne Herbarium. 



E. megacarpa F.v.M. 



Attains the highest altitude of any Eucalypt observed by Mr. C. A. Gardner on 

 the Stirling Range. It occurs near the 2,500 feet altitude line, on the western side of 

 Toolbrunup, forming thickets with E. doratoxylon, and extending a little higher than 

 the latter; on sandstone shales. Also observed on the summit of Warrungup, and 

 extending almost to the summit of Bluff Knoll (3.640 feet) with Casuarina decussata. 



53. E. melanophloia F.v.M. 



Queensland. On all the barren stony ranges right up to the Mitchell River, and even perhaps beyond, 

 the traveller cannot help noticing a stunted gum tree with deeply furrowed black bark ... It never 

 grows in good soil, and mostly prefers rocky ground. I have seen it abundantly inland as far north as 

 the waters of Carpentaria. (Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., VII, 335). 



North Western Australia. See Part XII, p. 73. Upper Isdell River, between Erskine Range and 

 Mount Marmion, on ironstone gravel. Tree of 30-60 feet, trunk to 30 feet, diameter l-l-i- feet, bark per- 

 sistent on stem and branches, rugged, iron-grey, very thick and longitudinally fissured, timber deep red and 

 extremely hard. The young shoots are frequently glaucous ; the trunks of old trees are often piped.

66. E. melliodora A. Cunn. 

 New South Wales. — Charles Fraser, No. 251, on Oxley's Second Expedition, 1818.

'North W estern Australia. — Glenelg River (Martin); on all elevations between 

 Lennard, Fitzroy, Barker, Isdell, Adcock, Hann, Barnett, Charnley, Sprigg, Calder 

 Ord, Denham and King Rivers ; near Wyndham, Dillen's Spring ; Inglis' Gap, King 

 Leopold Range. On sandstone and quartzite. (W. V. Fitzgerald MSS.) 



Napier Broome Bay to Derby. It is most abundant from the King Leopold Range north easterly 

 to the Prince Regent River, after which it becomes associated with E. tetradonta, the latter becoming the 

 dominant tree further northwards. There are smaller stunted specimens in the "Pindan" (see p. 271), 

 near Derby which do not exceed 30 feet in height, and are separated from the main habitat by about 90 

 miles. The species is restricted to the sandstone and quartzite areas, covering the tablelands, rough ranges 

 and valleys. It is never seen on basaltic formations, and seldom where laterite is present. Also in the 

 Kimberleys. (C. A. Gardner.) 



Queensland. — Dr. H. I. Jensen says that, as regards Queensland, it is calciphobe, 

 that it is found on gravelly and stony soils on rocky ground, that its geological formation 

 is granite and schist porphyry, and that it is associated with E. grandifolia, E. latifolia, 

 Sec. See also Part XXII, p. 38, and Part XLVII, p. 198.
