prominent above all other trees in the district. The soil where it grows is of a sandy 

 nature, ridgy, and of a poor quality. It is known locally as Stringybark. The timber 

 is much esteemed locally." 



Between Lawrence (Clarence River) and Casino (Richmond River). (W. 

 Forsyth. ) 



Queensland. 



Eight Mile Plains (F. M. Bailey and others). The type. 



Between Sunnybank and Mt. Gravatt. (C. T. White.) 



The next locality of which I have a record is approximately 500 miles to the 

 north-west. 



" Good development, distribution scattered. Elevation about 2,400 feet. 

 Blackdown Tableland near Dingo, 100 miles west of Bockhampton." (P. MacMahon, 

 N. W. Jolly.) 



It is quite evident that we have much to learn in regard to the range of this 

 species, particularly in Queensland, and it is very probable that a careful investigation 

 of the trees of the Blackdown Tableland would yield iitteresting and perhaps unexpected 

 results. 



AFFINITIES. 



Y 1- With E. diehromophloia F.v.M. 



The species in the fruit somewhat resembles E. diehromophloia, otherwise it is 

 very different. The true affinity of this species will be better shown when expanded 

 flowers are available. (Original description.) 



2. With E. Bowmani F.v.M. 



Mueller, " Eucalyptographia," goes into the supposed differences of these two 

 species at some length, but as (see the present work, Part X, p. 344) we do not know 

 what E. Bowmani is, we may defer consideration of the comparisons until we do.

3. With E. traehyphloia F.v.M. 



". . . its leaves are paler beneath, and their veins very divergent and copious; 

 the stalklets are thin ; the lid is much smaller, and exceeded in width and still more so 

 in length by. the tube of the calyx, separating moreover by an irregular rupture and 

 not a clearly defined circumcision ; the anthers are ovate, whereas the fruit is 

 much smaller, nearly twice as long as broad, with deeply enclosed valves."
