RANGE. 



This has already been described at pages 112-115 of Part XIII. In view of the 

 confusion that has gathered about some specimens, I give the following labels of speci- 

 mens in the Melbourne Herbarium seen by Mueller, which have been sent to me by 

 Professor Ewart. I hcve excluded those specimens of E. Dawsoni and E. Baueriana 

 which Mueller attributed to E. polyanthcmos. The labels of these specimens are, in some 

 cases, referred to at p. 113, sometimes with some change in the verbiage. In most 

 cases the leaves are orbicular to broad- or oblong-lanceolate.

Following are some additional specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney : — 



" Small to medium-sized trees up to 40 oi 50 feet. Bark ribbony or coming away 

 in flakes, leaving a mottled patchy stem of red and grey. Foliage varying in size and 

 shape; a most variable tree. Timber spoken of locally as first-class, but seldom reaches 

 mill-size in the district." Wyndham (J. L. Boorman).
