RANGE. 



Type from Hill Top, New South Wales (J.H.M., January, 1896). 



In Part XLV, p. 151 (under E. Blaxlandi) the following specimens should be 

 referred to E. agglomerata : — 



Waterfall (with E. capitellata), Woronora, Hill Top, Berrima, Berrima on 

 Mittagong-road, Wombeyan Caves, Taralga-road (with slightly exsert valves) ; 

 (ibid., p. 152), Goulburn, near Goulburn, Eden, Popran, Yarramalong, near Booral. 



In addition to the above, the following are new records : — 



Tree of 60 feet, Warrimoo, near Springwood (Dr. E. C. Chisholm and W. F. 

 Blakely). 



" Blue-leaved Strmgybark," Cut Hill, Mittagong (D. W. C. Shiress). " Blue- 

 leaved Stringybark, sometimes up to 5 feet in diameter. About 12 miles west of Sutton 

 Forest, towards Arthursleigh." (R. H. Cambage, No. 4349). " White Stringybark— 

 Tall trees, white bark, good timber, leaves bluish tint, easily determined from ' red ' 

 (Stringybark) in the bush by the more robust growth." Nye's Hill, Wingello (J. L. 

 Boorman, August, 1899). Same locality (J.H.M. and J. L Boorman, September, 

 1899), when I determined it " E. capitellata, small fruited form." 



Nelligen (J. L. Boorman, June, 1906). " The most useful of all the Stringybarks, 

 being cut for all purposes, especially for weatherboards and fencing. Attains large 

 size and height." Clyde, near Nelligen (J. L. Boorman, March, 1909). " On a 

 sedimentary deposit at about 900 feet, a few miles east from between Nelligen and 

 Reidsdale. Locally known as Stringybark." (F. W. Wakefield, No. 27, 1918). 



Summing up these records, the species is at present known only from the 

 coastal districts and coastal tablelands of New South Wales, from Booral (Port 

 Stephens district) southward to the Victorian border. It can be confidently predicted 

 to occur in Gippsland, Victoria, and much further north in New South Wales. 



AFFINITIES. 



It may be compared with certain other Stringybarks as follows : — ■ 



1. With E. Blaxlandi Maiden and Cambage. 



In the early juvenile leaves, which are rather larger in E. agglomerata, and in 

 the stellate buds and smaller closely capitate fruits. The buds of E. Blaxlandi are 

 clavate. In outward appearance both species have much in common.
