RANGE. 



So far it lias only been recorded from New South "Wales, and in moderately 

 dry, but not very dry, areas. In view of the fact that it is a Mallee, and that it is 

 superficially similar to at least two other species, I confidently predict that its range 

 will be considerably added to in the near future. 



At present we know the species from three main areas— (1) Between the 

 Murrumbidgee and the Lachlan Eivers, which may be briefly described as the Temora- 

 Wyalong country); (2) the Merriwa-Denman area, where the type came from; and 

 (3) the Pilliga Scrub. Outliers from (1) are the Nymagee district, and from (3) the 

 Warrumbungle Mountains. 



Definite localities are : — 



On quartzite ridge, Ardlethan (R. H. Cambage, No. 4,192). Small or medium- 

 sized trees of 12-40 feet high, growing on the ridges around the township and at the 

 mines (J. L. Boorman). Small to medium-sized trees, having much the habit of a 

 Red Gum, bark dark-grey, ribbony towards the base of the stem, Wyalong (J. L. 

 Boorman); Wyalong (W. S. Campbell, 1901); Red or Cabbage Gum, Barmedman, 

 on ridge (R. H. Cambage, 16th September, 1900). 



Temora, Nos. 112, 499, 835 (Rev. J. W. Dwyer). A gum resembling 

 E. tereticornis , smooth bark, deciduous, dark grey or greenish, bluish on trunk, but 

 creamy on branchlets. About 20-30 feet high. Fruits remind one of E. Stuartiana 

 Road Temora to Mirrool (Rev. J. W. Dwyer, No. 196). " A straggling, low, branchy 

 type, resembling Mallee, bark of a gum tree, smooth, varying in colour from grey to 

 white. About 12 feet high." Temora State Forest, 10 miles from Temora (Forest 

 Guard C. O. Love, Nos. 6 and 7, 1918). 



A Mallee, Blow Clear State Forest, 8 miles north of Bogan Gate (K. Walker, 

 Nos. 5 and 6, 1918). Growing in Mallee form, 8 or 10 stems from one root, and about 

 20 feet high, Wirlong, Nymagee (R. H. Cambage, No. 1011). Referred to as 

 E. tereticornis var. dealbata (E. dealbata) by Mr. Cambage in Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W . 

 xxvi, 204, 1901, and by me, as resembling thf Gungal specimens, ib., xxix, 773, 1904). 



Sent in as " A." " A small tree of branching habit, no stem; specimens were 

 obtained from the small shoots; was not able to form any idea as to size. Top of hill, 

 in one locality only." Gungal, near Merriwa (J. L. Boorman, September, 1904), 

 Another specimen, also labelled " A,*' and labelled " Mallee." Piece of timber with 

 this. 



Sent in as " B." " Mallee-like trees or shrubs, tops of the hills; on the flats 

 not plentiful. Timber of this." Gungal, near Merriwa (J. L. Boorman, September, 

 1904). " In the vicinity Grevillea longistyla and Philotheca australis var. Reiclienbac- 

 hiana grow. . . . The Eucalypts are very interesting, and, so far as my knowledge
