RANGE. 



It is confined to Western Australia, and, so far as is known at present, to a strip 

 of coast-land, more or less ascending the Darling Range, in the south-western portion 

 of the State, on the Perth-Bunbury Railway Line, between Kelmscott 1G, and Waroona, 

 70 miles south of Perth. 



' Very clean White Gum, Kelmscott, foot of Darling Range, 16 miles south 

 of Perth." (Dr. J. B. Cleland, No. 4.) Figured at fig. 4a and 46, Plate 74, of the" 

 present work. 



'White Gum," 40 feet high, 12 inches in diameter, near Beenup, S.W. Railway, 

 on the Perth to Bunbury road, 24 miles south of Perth (C. E. Lane-Poole, No. 8, 

 November, 1918, fruits only ; No. 465, July, 1919, complete material). 



" A White Gum, sandy scrub land, Serpentine River, W.A." In Herb. Melb., 

 and variously attributed by Mueller (on the label) to E. unemata and to E. micranthera.* 

 It is a very old specimen, and is figured at fig. 8a, 86, 8c of Plate 74 of the present work. 

 This and the following three localities are practically identical. 



" Salmon-white Gum or Powder Bark Wandoo. Height' to about 40 feet, to 

 3 feet in diameter. " Near Keysbrook (39 miles south of Perth), near the Belgobin School, 

 on the Perth-Bunbury road. (Mr. Schock, through C. E. Lane-Poole, under the same 

 number, 8, as given to some Beenup specimens. ) 



Tree of 40 feet, 3 feet in diameter. Keysbrook, Perth-Bunbury road (Mr. Schock, 

 per Dr. F. W. Stoward, No. 1). 



" Salmon Gum or Powder-bark Wandoo," half a mile south of Serpentine River 

 on Perth-Bunbury road. (Mr. Schock, per Dr. F. W. Stoward, No. 90. ) 



Sent as " Wandoo," Waroona, January, 1903 (Forester J. J. Fitzgerald). Waroona 

 is 70 miles south of Perth, and I could only obtain buds. Referred to at p. 224, Part 

 XVII of the present work. 



AFFINITIES. 



l. With E. redunea Schauer. 

 That officers of the Forest Department of Western Australia should, quite 

 independently, in 1903 and 1918, speak of this as a Wandoo, shows that the general 

 appearance of the tree, its bark and timber, must bear more than a superficial 

 resemblance to the true Wandoo (E. redunea). But comparison of the figures 4 and 8, 

 Plate 74 of this work, which partly depict E. Lane-Poolei, and Plate 140, which shows 

 E. redunea, shows that the two species are botanically very dissimilar. 



• This is the specimen referred to at Part XX of the present work, bottom of page 308, under E. micranthera. 

 There is, however, very little affinity between the two species.
