its greatest dimensions in moist situations, and is frequently associated with E. Houseana. It is very scarce 

 to the west of the Prince Regent River, but very common in the central Kimberleys. The tree is seldom 

 seen on hills, preferring the moister situations of the valleys. Specimens collected, No. 1576, Mount 

 Shadforth, Edkins Range, in sandy soil in valleys, a tree of 60 feet (in fruit) ; No. 13S7, Prince Regent 

 River, in valleys in the sandstone ranges. (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



Queensland. — Dr. H. I. Jensen favours me with the following notes, chiefly as regards Northern 

 Queensland, and says that it " seems to be the predominant Bloodwood, and, as in the Northern Territory, 

 it grows principally on good, damp soil. It is calciphile; is found on deep alluvial limestone, basalt loams, 

 loamy subsoil, in Central and North Queensland on all coastwise streams indicating plentiful moisture 

 and good soil : associated with E. corymbosa, E. tessellaris, E. papuana and E. alba." 



E. terminalis from the " far interior of New South Wales " (Baker and Smith 

 " Research." &c, 2nd Edin.. p. 33) is probably E. pyrophora Benth. 



193. E. tessellaris F.V.M. 



Queensland. — Dr. H. I. Jensen favours me with the following notes : — "It is calciphobe in west 

 and calciphile and calciphobe on coast. In western districts it is found on arenaceous, deep loams ; in 

 coastal districts on heavier soils, often volcanic, but good drainage and capillarity. Localities, East Moreton, 

 Darling Downs, Roma and Mitchell, David's Range, Carnarvon Range, Springsure, Taroom district, getting 

 scarce north of Bogantungan ; on basic igneus rocks in East Moreton, sandy sandstone loams of all 

 sedimentary periods in the West and Dawson Mackenzie country, but not on highly siliceous sandstone, 

 except in damp places. The tree requires lime, but not excess. The amount of lime in the leached volcanic 

 soils of East Moreton and in the desert sandstone soils of Mitchell is probably much the same. Grows 

 with E. dealbata, Angophora lanceolata and Callilris in Roma, Mitchell districts, with E. melanophloia in 

 East Moreton on volcanic rocks ; with E. hemiphloia in Brisbane district ; with E. papuana in the Central 

 district. It occurs in the Cairns coastal belt, but the trees ascribed to that species inland are probably 

 E. papuana and E. grandifolia." 



121. E. tetraptera Turcz. 

 Western Australia. — South-west of Ellen Peak, Stirling Range, on the Cape 

 Riche Road. (Mr. W. Dunn, of the Porongorups, verbally to me.) 



254. E. tetrodonta F.v.M. 



North Western Australia. — East of the Prince Regent estuary, southwards to Phillips Range, 

 and northwards to Vansittart and Napier Broome Bays. It is frequently associated with E. terminalis, 

 and in the southern parts of the habitat mentioned; they form mixed open forests with E. miniata, which 

 is the predominating tree of the sandstone areas south of Mount Hann. To the north, however, E. miniata 

 takes a secondary place, the forests become denser, and the dominant tree of the sandstone quartzite and 

 laterite areas is E. tetrodonta. The sclerophyllous woodlands to the south of Admiralty Gulf, Vansittart 

 and Napier Broome Bays are largely composed of this species. It is not a widely spreading tree, and the 

 trees are in sufficiently dense patches to be termed forest. It is never found on basaltic country. (C. A. 

 Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



Qij£ensland. — " Stringybark, calciphobe ; on light sandy soil of deep nature. 

 Found in both North Queensland and the Northern Territory on sandstone and granite." 

 (Dr. H. I. Jensen.)
