The following two localities are west of Portland Bay and close to the Victorian- 

 South Australian boundary : — 



5. Stringybark. Bark not deciduous, timber white, from 10 to 30 feet high 

 (J. G. Robertson, No. 498. 21st January, 1844). Leaves short and broad : buds clavate, 

 contracted towards the base, opercula very obtuse, slightly rugose. Heath, 10 miles 

 west of Rossneath, Glenelg River. 



6. Juvenile leaves broadly oblong to almost orbicular, mucfonate, the lower ones 

 hispid, the upper smooth. 2| to 5 cm. long, lj to 3^ cm. broad. " Heath, Steepbank 

 Rivulet, growing at foot of 498 and supposed to be young of it, 12th June, 1843." 

 (J. G. Robertson, No. 500.) (Juvenile foliage.) 



The following specimens from eastern Victoria have also fruits sessile or nearly so, 

 and are not far removed from the type : — 



1. Bark stringy but not persistent to the highest branches. Leaves thick, 

 oblique, oblong-lanceolate. No buds. Fruit globose to somewhat turbinate. Sealer's 

 Cove (A. W. Howitt and J. L. King). 



Following are two specimens from the Grampians : — 



1. Leaves thick, oblong-lanceolate, 1|— 2 inches long. Fruit pyriform. 



2. Leaves very broad and short; buds verrucose; fruit depressed globular; 

 valves short, scarcely exsert. (Both Charles Walter, March, 1887.) 



A third specimen from the Grampians (at 2,000 feet, H. B. Williamson) is very 

 similar to specimens nearer the coast, but the buds (both calyx-tube and operculum) 

 are markedly verrucose. Figured at 12a, 12b, 12c, Plate 37 (under E. capitellata). 



South Australia. — The following additional specimens from South Australia, and 

 arranged geographically in the same way as the more typical ones already enumerated, 

 have fruits pyriform or turbinate to shortly pedicellate, and may be looked upon as 

 intermediate between the typical form and those which are more pedicellate (var. 

 pedicellata, n. var). 



1. Fruit up to 14 in the head, pyriform, truncate, the valves small and scarcely 

 exsert. Mount Burr Forest, Millicent (W. Gill, January, 1915). 



2. Caroline Forest near Glenelg River and Victorian border, 13 miles south-east 

 of Mount Gambier (W. Gill). 



3. Clavate, scarcely angular, buds, with domed fruits, valves well exsert. Sandy 

 rises, covered with fern undergrowth, Narracoorte (W. Gill). Figured at figs. 11a and 

 lib, Plate 37, Part VIII, under E. capitellata.
