RANGE. 



This is stated at Part XI, p. 2, and the following New South Wales localities 

 may be added : — 



Wyndham. " Known as Yellow Box. It grows into massive trees, 40-60 feet 

 high, having a thick, corky bark, with the cambium pale yellow, but less so than the 

 pale Yellow Box E. melliodora. Owing to being much interwoven in grain it is difficult 

 to split, and is little used except in the unsplit form." (J. L. Boorman.) 



It is worthy of note that the name " Yellow Box " in use at Wyndham in the 

 south-east, near the Victorian border, is also in use in the Sydney district (Cabramatta, 

 &c). 



St. Mary's. (A. J. Holloway.) This is a co-type of E. Nepeanensis. 



Messrs. Baker and Smith also quote specimens from Cabramatta as forming, 

 with St. Mary's, co-types of their species. At Part XI, p. 3 of the present work, the 

 Cabramatta locality (which is really that of the Rev. Dr. Woolls, although not stated by 

 Messrs. Baker and Smith)," also a second locality (Bringelly), by Dr. Woolls, nearer to 

 St. Mary's, are quoted. 



AFFINITIES. 



Messrs. Baker and Smith (loc. cit.) have the following, under " Remarks " : — 



;; Since the publication of the ' Flora Australiensis ' it has been usual to place this species and 

 E. pendula (both of Cunningham) under Mueller's E. largitiorens. With such a classification we do not 

 agree, as Cunningham's specific names apply to interior .species, whilst this is a coastal tree, with a 

 pale-coloured whitish timber, ' Box ' barked only on the lower portion of the stem, and with erect branches 

 and branchlets. In our first edition it was placed and fully described under E. bicolor." 



As well as I could, I have explained the errors in the above passage (into which 

 I consider Messrs. Baker and Smith have fallen) in Part XI of the present work, p. 2, 

 under E. bicolor Woolls. and also at pp. 7 and 8. I will leave it at that.
