CCLXII. E. angophoroides R. T. Baker. 



For a description and figure of this species see Part XL VI, p. 175, Plate 190, 

 figs. 6-9; also Plate 191, figs. 1-2. 



RANGE. 



In the above Part, under " Range." p. 175, I stated that it was confined to the 

 coastal districts of New South Wales, and may be expected to be found in eastern Gippsland, 

 Victoria. That prediction has now been confirmed by examination of several specimens 

 which were attributed to E. Stuartiana F.v.M. In Victoria it appears to be associated 

 with E. Stuartiana, a tree it very closely resembles in all its botanical characters. 



Victoria : — Castle Burn Creek, Crooked River Road ; Stratford ; Four Mile 

 Creek, Port Road (Dr. A. W. Howitt) ; Mount Lookout, near Bairnsdale (H. Hopkins) ; 

 Lower Tambo River (J.H.M.)— material mixed : the large fruits seem to be E. angophor- 

 oides, and the small fruits are typical E. Stuartiana. 



New South Wales : — Wolumba (J. S. Allen) ; Boyne State Forest, 4 miles north 

 of Bateman's Bay (L. Walker); Cockwhy Creek, Nelligen district (W. F. Blakely and 

 C. C. Robertson). 



AFFINITIES. 



In Part XLVI, p. 177, its affinity with E. Stuartiana is already stated, to which 

 the following additional notes may be added. 



In the Herbarium the species may be separated on the following characters :— 

 E. Stuartiana : Juvenile leaves thick, almost equally glaucous on both surfaces. 

 Adult leaves thick, smooth, somewhat glossy, and sometimes densely covered with dark 

 oil-dots, becoming pale on both surfaces with age. Buds and young fruits i ough with 

 numerous oil-dots. Mature fruits often with 3-4 spreading deltoid valves. 



E. angophoroides : Juvenile leaves thin, much paler beneath than on the upper 

 surface ; the intermediate leaves larger and thinner than those of E. Stuartiana. Adult 

 leaves thin, dark green above, pale coloured and dull beneath, usually retaining the same 

 colour when dry; oil-dots obscure. Buds and fruits comparatively smooth, the latter 

 nearly always turbinate with a thickened rim, and usually 3-5 erect valves. Some forms 

 of E. ovata resemble E. angophoroides very much in the leaves and fruits.
