RANGE. 



It is unfortunate that a single specimen, and no other, has not been fixed as the 

 type. The author of this species sins, in this respect, in very good company, but 

 absence of definiteness of a type leads to the confusion we all desire to avoid. 



Mr. Baker quotes the following localities : — Girilambone, Cobar, and Trangie 

 (W. Baeuerlen); Nyngan and Murga (R. H. Cambage). (Original description.) These 

 are all in western New South Wales. 



It will be observed that no type locality is mentioned, neither is it stated, in the 

 explanation of Plate XLIII, figuring E. Woollsiana (original description) where the 

 specimens figured came from. I have received, in response to my request for types, 

 specimens labelled by Mr. Baker, Condobolin and Girilambone to Condobolin. 



AFFINITIES. 



Preliminary. — This tree is a half-barked " Box." and allied in bark and timber to 

 E. populifolia, E. albens, and other cognate Box-trees. [Of all the Box-trees described 

 this species has probably the narrowest leaves]. . . . (These words in the square 

 brackets are omitted from Research, &c, p. 132.) 



The leaves have a shining surface, occasionally as pertains to E. populifolia 

 F.v.M., or E. Behriana F.v.M. (Original description.) 



1 . With E. eonica Deane and Maiden. 



" It differs from E. eonica Deane and Maiden, in height, bark, timber, oil and fruits. Although 

 the two species are not easily separated on herbarium material, they are never confounded in the field." 

 (Original description.) References to E. eonica are omitted from Research, &c, p. 132. 



For E. eonica' see Part XIII, with Plate 60, and also p. 64 of Part XLII. See 

 also Plate 219, Part LVIII of my " Forest Flora of New South Wales." E. eonica 

 has broader juvenile leaves in contradistinction to the usually narrower ones of 

 E. Woollsiana ; the fruits also are very different in shape and size, while the anthers 

 of the two species are very different. 



2. With E. microtheca F.v.M. 



" It differs from E. microlJieca in the valves of the fruit not being exserted. in the colour of the wood, 

 and in the bark and chemical constituents." (Original description.) 



For E. microtheca see Part XI, figs. 16-22, Plate 52, There are no close affinities ; 

 the timber of E. microtheca is red, and the fruits sharply different.
