4. Buds very young, clavate, minutely rugose. Fruit globular to globular- 

 turbinate, very shortly pedicellate. One or two miles west of Bordertown, where the 

 scrub of the 90-Mile Desert begins (J. M. Black, December, 1918). 



We are now at the Mount Lofty Ranges around Adelaide. The following 

 specimens have fruits pyriform or turbinate to shortly pedicellate. They are inter- 

 mediates. 



1. Stringybark, Mount Lofty Ranges (Max Koch, September, 1902). The 

 figures (fig. 1, plate 38, the fruits If immature and therefore the valves not exsert) show 

 the remarkable variation in the shape of the fruits in this tree. Buds rather small, 

 some with conical operculum, and some with clavate shape of buds ; many of them 

 slightly rugose. I doubt if the Mount Lofty specimens can be separated from those 

 labelled ' : Eucalyptus fabrorum, Schlechtendal. In montibus steriorilibus elatis, 

 November, 1848. Dr. Mueller." (Probably Mount Lofty, South Australia) ; see this 

 work, Part I, p. 40, cf. also Part II, p. 60. 



Mueller's specimen of E. fabrorum from Mount Lofty Range is in young bud and 

 immature fruit. Buds cylindrical, opercula conical, slightly rugose. Immature fruit 

 pyriform to slightly pedicellate. 



2. Buds clavate, contracted towards the base, rugose, fruit more or less pyriform, 

 shortly pedicellate (R. H. Cambage, March, 1901). 



3. Fruit pyriform, leaves thick (W. Gill, October, 1905). Both with short, 

 broadish leaves, ovoid, shiny, slightly tuberculate buds, almost sessile, squat, conoid to 

 hemispherical domed fruits. See fig. 11, Plate 37, Part VIII. 



4. Seedlings the same as those of Mr. C. C. Robertson from Penola Forest 

 previously mentioned (see p. 453). Buds slightly rugose; fruit globular-truncate, shortly 

 pedicellate ; not fully developed. 



5. Myponga (F. H. Ayliffe, per J. M. Black).
