From this the idea must not be taken away that E. tetragona occurs in the Swan 

 River District. It occurs in a limited area of the southern district from the Stirling 

 Range district to the Esperance district, Lucky Bay being its furthest record east, 

 although I expect it to be found further east than that. 



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



East of Katanning (Dr. F. Steward); Kalgan Plains (J.H.M.); " Marlock or 

 Spearwood," Stirling Range (Collector for Andrew Murphy). East from Solomon's 

 Well, Stirling Range (Dr. A. Morrison); " From the south-west front of the Stirling 

 Range to east Mount Barren," (Collector of Mueller) ; Cape Riche (Maxwell). 



" Large leaf Eucalypt, scrubby, dwarf, 5-10 feet. Poor sandy ridge, midway 

 between the eastern end of the Stirling Range and Growangerup. Only a small patch 

 of it, but Mr. Rowe says there are miles of it on the way to Ravensthorpe." (W. C. 

 Grasby.) 



Hopetoun to Ravensthorpe, plentiful from end to end of the railway which 

 connects the two places (34 miles). It is hardly conceivable that it ends at Ravens- 

 thorpe (J.H.M.). Esperance (J.H.M.). Lucky Bay (Robert Brown). The type. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. eudesmioides F.v.M. See under E. eudesmioides at p. 168. 



2. With E. inerassata Labill., var. angulosa. 



Drummond's IV, 75, is, according to Bentham, E. inerassata Labill. var. angulosa 

 (figured at fig. 1, Plate 14 of the present work), but a specimen of Drummond's No. 75 

 (1848) from Herb. Oxon., in bud and flower, is E. tetragona F.v.M. Other specimens 

 bearing the same number are E. tetragona. The explanation is that, under this number, 

 we have mixed material, for the two species are not closely related.
