RANGE. 



This species is confined to South. Australia and Victoria, so far as we know at 

 present. Westerly it has been found as far as the Mount Lofty Kanges around Adelaide. 



South Australia. — We have already seen that Robert Brown said that Baxter 

 collected the plant (now called E. Baxteri) " South Coast, probably Kangaroo Island 

 or possibly V. D. Land." We know that Baxter collected on Kangaroo Island, and, in 

 response to my inquiries, the late Mr. Thomas Gill, a most reliable authority, informed 

 me that he bebeved that the only South Australian locality visited by Baxter was that 

 island. See my (J.H.M.) " Records of Western Australian Botanists " in Journal W. A. 

 Natural History Soc, 1909). I know of no Victoria locality visited by Baxter, and 

 I think Brown's surmise of Kangaroo Island is correct. The species has never been 

 found in Tasmania. 



The following come from the South Australian mainland; the fruits are sessile, 

 and mostly turbinate to pyriform in shape. Let us begin near the Victorian border, in 

 the south-east of South Austraba. 



1. Penola Forest (W. Gill, June, 1918). Buds verrucose, fruit depressed globular. 

 We have also specimens from Mr. C. C. Robertson, of the Forest Department, Pretoria, 

 South Africa, collected in the same district in October, 1924, one of which is a seedbng 

 which is narrow and has some resemblance to that of E. eugeniodes. Another is broad, 

 for the most part broadly oblong, with denticulate margins. It is much more glabrous 

 than seedlings of E. capitellata. A reversion shoot, 1 dm. long, has broad cordate leaves, 

 and is more or less hispid with stellate hairs. Fruits closely sessile, concealing the short 

 pedicel, globular to shortly turbinate. Leaves thick, broadly oblong to obhquely and 

 broadly lanceolate. 



2. Buds clavate. slightly verrucose. Fruit turbinate to almost pyriform. Leaves 

 coarse. Narracoorte (Walter Gill). 



3. Leaves thick, lanceolate; buds clavate, rugose, the common pedicel short; 

 fruit large, sessile, globular, with small valves. Between Kangaroo Island and Milbcent, 

 which is in the south-eastern corner of South Australia (Prof. J. B. Cleland, No. 91). 



4. " This is quite different from any of the Eucalypts that I have yet seen." 

 (Hundreds of Cassine, Kangaroo Island, W. J. Spafford, No. 7, May, 1916). The buds of 

 this specimen are very rugose and the opercula are somewhat pointed. The fruits are 

 closely sessile and turbinate (see description, p. 451).. while the leaves are thick and 

 broadly lanceolate. 



5. Leaves broadly oblong, oblique, strongly veined ; fruit turbinate. Hindmarsh 

 Tiers. Encounter Bay (Prof. J. B. Cleland),
