" Mallee," pale timber, but not mature. Minore (J. L. Boorman, June, 1901). 



" From an old stump of tree, 3 feet or more in diameter, base appeared of a 

 ' boxy ' nature." Cobar (J. L. Boorman, July, 1903). Figured at Plate. 152, 

 Part XLI, " Forest Flora." 



Second growth of tree 2-3 feet in diameter. Mount Boppy (J. L. Boorman, 

 August, 1903). 



The note on E. odorata by myself, in Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., xlix, 329 (1915), 

 probably refers to E. bicolor A. Cunn. 



Range of E. odorata var., calcicultrix F.v.M. 



To the South Australian localities given at Part XI, p. 35, may be added : — 



' Water Mallee," because the roots are used to drain water for human consump- 

 tion in dry areas. Minnipa, Eyre's Peninsula (W. J. Spafford, No. 14). One foot in 

 diameter. Timber and bark like odorata. 



New South Wales. 



The following specimen shows that it occurs in this State, and it should still 

 further be looked for : — 



" Tree of about 30 feet, growing in bed of creek in the same way as E. rostrata 

 in these inland places." Broken Hill (A. Morris, Nos. 81 and 102). 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. Woollsiana R. T. Baker. 

 I have already, p. 291, stated that I do not think that E. odorata can be separated 

 from E. Woollsiana, but perhaps the comments already given under Bark, &c, at p. 200 

 may be found useful. 



E. odorata has broadish suckers and pale brown timber, with commonly dull 

 foliage (at all events in New South Wales specimens), and a Cobar specimen (in the 

 same general district as some specimens of E. Woollsiana) will be found figured in 

 Plate 152, fig. E, Part XLI, of my " Forest Flora of New South Wales." It shares 

 with E. Woollsiana the name of " Mallee Box,"
