DESCRIPTION. 



CCL VII. E. Blaxlandi Maiden and Cambage. 



In Proc. Roy. N.S.W., LII, 495 (1918), recapitulating descriptions at Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. N.S.W., xxx, 193 (1905), and the present work, Part VIII, 216, as the 

 Blue Mountains form of E. capitellata. 



If the reference in the present work (under " Western Localities,") be turned to, it 

 will be seen that the description need not be repeated at this place. 



A specimen (Blackheath, Blue Mountains, N.S.W., J. H. Maiden, January, 

 1905) in 'the National Herbarium of New South Wales is constituted the type by the 

 authors. 



It is figured at Part VIII. Plate 38, of the present work, figures 3a, 36, 3c, 5. 

 Those figures of the type lack the mature leaf, which is given at fig. 5, Plate 187, of the 

 present Part. 



It is named in honour of Gregory Blaxland, who was leader of the first party 

 to cross the Blue Mountains (1813), where many trees of this species are to be found. 



RANGE. 



It occurs very extensively in New South Wales, both on the tablelands and in 

 the coastal districts. It is also fairly widely diffused in Victoria, chiefly in Gippsland 

 and along the east and south coast (western district), where it joins South Australian 

 localities, extending into the Mount Lofty Range. It has been looked upon as E. 

 capitellata, and it will be some time before it is understood that that species, sensu 

 strictu, does not occur in the two southern States. 



New South Wales. 



Western Localities. — Besides the type locality, Blackheath, and other parts of 

 the Blue Mountains from Woodford to Cox's River (Bowenfels), Jenolan Caves and 

 Mount Wilson (see Part VIII, p. 217), we have — 



Mount Currucudgy (Rylstone district (R. T. Baker). Upper Meroo (A. Murphy, 

 timber No. 9,899). Fruits very small to medium sized, and some exsert. (A. Murphy). 

 Localities which extend its range in a slightly north-westerly direction. 



The Sydney (Outer Domain) form, referred to under E. capitellata at p. 217 and 

 figures 4a-c, Plate 38, may be looked upon as a nearly glabrous form of E. Blaxlandi; 

 it is not typical.
