RANGE. 



The type came from the upper part of the Roper River, and Bentham adds 

 " Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria," whence it was collected by Robert Brown about 

 1802, but what I have seen collected by that botanist on the islands belongs to 

 E. Foelscheana. So far I have only seen specimens of E. latifolia from the Northern 

 Territory and the big islands north of it. The Roper River, of course, flows into the 

 western side of the Gulf of Carpentaria. 



Following are notes on Northern Territory specimens in the National Herbarium, 

 Sydney : — 



Grows on heavy soil and is associated with E. fafuana and E. terminaiis. 

 The wood is soft." Has the ordinary friable Bloodwood bark, Bathurst Island (G. F.

" White bark, flaking off in places in strips. Conical fruits " (perhaps a reference

Note (a). " Bastard Bloodwood.*' " Similar in habit to the Bastard Bloodwoods 

 and Cabbage Gums identified as E. grand if olia and E. Foelscheana (narrow leaf tall form). 

 The leaf is always stout and untwisted, but in the roughish bark, with red gummy 

 splashes, and the crooked habit of the tree, it resembles the other two." (Jensen, No. 385). 



Note (b). " Crooked limbed small tree, growing however in other places up to 

 40 feet high. Roughish bark except on branches where it is white and smooth. Stem 

 up to 12 inches in diameter. Capsules in small terminal racemes. Leaves ovate."
