 VARIETY. 



Var. sessilis var. nov. 



I have already shown that confusion has arisen in regard to the presence or 

 absence of pedicels in this species. The pedicellate (normal) and non-pedicellate forms 

 should, however, be distinguished by a name, and therefore I propose the name sessilis 

 for the latter. The specimens, Glen of Palms, Macdonnell Range, Northern Territory 

 (E. Giles), may be taken as the type of the proposed variety (see figs. 4a to c, Plate 171). 



RANGE. 



(Of normal form, i.e., with pedicellate inflorescence.) 



Northern Territory. 



The sheet in Herb. Melb. labelled " E. paehyphylla Fercl. Mueller, Hooker's Creek, 

 Dr. M." and which refers to the type, consists of two leaves, together with loose pedi- 

 cellate fruits, evidently the same as those figured in the :i Eucalyptographia " plate, but 

 with shorter pedicels than figured therein. See figs. la. lb, Plate 171. They belong 

 to the type. (I would again remind my readers that the buds and flowers shown on 

 the " Eucalyptographia " plate do not belong to the type.) 



Small tree of 10 feet. Tanami, western Northern Territory, collected by Dr. 

 H. I. Jensen (C. E. F. Allen, No. 206). Flowers only, shortly pedicellate. It is difficult, 

 and perhaps impossible, to separate these flowers from those labelled " Sources of the 

 Georgina River." 



Queensland. 



" E. paehyphylla, F.v.M.," Pituri Creek, a tributary of the Georgina River, 

 Western Queensland (Alfred Henry. 1889). A few fruits only. See fig. 2, Plate 

 171. The fruit is a little smaller than that of the type. 



Linda Creek. [I cannot trace this. Can it be the same as Lander Creek, a few 

 lines below?] One fruit only. Shortly pedicellate; fig. 3, Plate 171. As compared 

 with the type, this is of greater diameter and with more ribs on the calyx-tube. 



The following in fruit only : — 



A. "Interior of S.A." (doubtless Northern Territory). Figured at 5a and ob, 

 Plate 75. 



B. GO miles west of Camp IV, Lander Creek, Northern Territory. 22nd June, 

 1911 (G. F. Hill, No. 371).
