Sessile, single, large-fruited form. A specimen in leaf and flower only, labelled 

 by Mueller " E. pachyphylla F.v.M. (Strongylantherse), W. H. Cornish, 1885." precisely 

 matches the flowering specimen (Glen of Palms, E. Giles) in the "Eucalyptographia" plate. 

 Figured at Qa-Gd, Plate 75. This is the plant referred to as from the Mulligan River, 

 Western Queensland, this work, Part XVII, p. 235. 



RANGK (°f var - sessilis var. nov.). 



Northern Territory. 



"W. Austral. Expedition, Glen of Palms, E. Giles, 1872," inLuehmann's writing, 

 " E. pachyphylla EM." in Mueller's writing. 



These specimens are in flower and bud only, are sessile, and are interesting 

 because in Fragm. x, 5 (1876), Mueller first described the floWers (5-7 and nearly sessile) 

 from them. I look upon them as quite sessile, and they are depicted in Mueller's 

 " Eucalyptographia " plate (flowers and buds only). 



Glen of Palms is on the Finke River, just south of the Krichauff Range. It 

 formed Camp 44, Horn Expedition. In the report of this Expedition, Botany, by 

 Prof. R. Tate, at p. 158, he records Giles' specimen, and also Krichauff Range (Kempe), 

 a specimen to be presently referred to ; also gorge of Reedy Creek, ravine on south 

 side of Mt. Tate, on Mt. Sonder, all localities in the Macdonnell Ranges. 



The Rev. H. Kempe, the collector above referred to, was located at the Moravian 

 Mission Station, Hermannsburg, on the northern side of the Finke River, and about 

 1 mile north of the Krichauff Range. It was abandoned as a Mission Station in the 

 early " nineties." See Report, Horn Exped., p. 48. There is a survey of the Station 

 and its surroundings in Mr. C. Winnecke's Report of the Expedition. 



Immature (some slightly glaucous) fruits, Finke River (Kempe, 1880). are, as 

 regards some of them, very fairly represented by Gb, Plate 75 ; fruits immature, but a 

 little more advanced are figured herewith. 



Here we have a small fruited form. Leaves and ripe fruits, Finke River (Revd. 

 W. Schwarz, 1886) are figured herewith. Mueller does not appear to have referred to 

 these specimens anywhere. 



15 miles west of Hugh River (a tributary of the Finke River), Macdonnell Ranges, 

 N.T. , 6th May, 1911 (G. F. Hill, No. 147). Glaucous early fruits, 40 miles west of Camp 

 IV, Lander Creek, N.T. 21st June, 1911 (G. F. Hill, No. 361). Flowers with most 

 of the stamens dropped. 



Still in the Macdonnell Ranges, at p. 35 of the Horn Expedition Report, we have 

 " June 17, 1894, Horn Exped., Camp 33, Deering Creek, height 2,210 feet. Travelled 

 over sandridges covered with .... and Mallee (Eucalyptus pachyphylla)." 



' Bush, 8-12 feet high, on sand plain 9 miles N.E. of the permanent water of 

 Winnecke's on the Marshall." (Lieut. Dittrich.)
