DESCRIPTION. 



XXXI. E. Planchoniana F.v.M. 



A note on this species will be found in Part IX of the present work, and it has 

 been represented to me that a figure would be desirable. There is a figure in Plate 90, 

 Part XXIV of my " Forest Flora of New South Wales," but the present figures add 

 something. 



The flowers are pale yellow or creamy white, and notes in regard to bark and 

 timber will be found under Range. Besides the note in the " Forest Flora " quoting 

 the dedication to M. Planchon, see also under E. globulus in the " Eucalyptographia." 



RANGE. 



It is a coast species, and I am not aware that it has been recorded from further 

 south than Camden Haven. It extends along the coast as far as Queensland. 

 Immediately opposite Laurieton, on the other side of the Camden Haven River, near 

 the coast, are some trees of this, then a rather rare species. It is here found over an 

 area of about a mile, by half a mile broad. 



In the Brisbane district it attains a height of, perhaps, 100 feet, and a diameter 

 of (say) 3 feet (Bailey). The same dimensions were given in regard to trees near 

 Kempsey, New South Wales. About Camden Haven the trees are poor and pipy ; a 

 solid one could not be found. Their height goes up to (say) 30 feet, with a diameter of 

 15 inches, but the trees are of stunted growth. 



The following notes include additional particulars : — ■ 



It has also been found in a more inland locality by Mr. E. C. Andrews, viz., 

 Glen Elgin, about 30 miles north-easterly from Glen Innes, or about 20 miles easterly 

 from Deepwater, and on the eastern watershed. He adds the following note : — 



The more precise locality is Pheasant Creek, 18 miles north-north-east from Glen Elgin. Occurs 

 at an altitude of 3,000 feet on an extremely acid variety of granite. Very rocky and sandy country, almost 

 indistinguishable from Hawkesbury sandstone tope, around National Park and Hornsby. 



Habit. — Tall, upright, thin tops. Huge bunches of fruits, very noticeable from ground (50-70 feet 

 below). 



Associates. — E. coryrnbosa, E. pilularis, Stringybark (species unknown), Pimelcas, Styphclias, 

 Boronias, Waratahs, Xamthorrhceas, and various other sand-loving plants.
