SYNONYM. 



E. odorata Behr and Schleclit., var. Woollsiana Maiden, as described at p. 32, 

 Part XI of the present work. 



RANGE. 



So far as I know, this species is confined to New South Wales and Queensland, 

 but we have much to learn in regard to its range in these, and possibly in other States. 

 It is represented by the following specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney. 

 The localities quoted are all in the northern half of New South Wales, extending just 

 into Queensland, the two quoted from that State marching with the northern New 

 South Wales localities. 



New South Wales.

 Coolabah Railway Station on the way to the old Experiment Farm (J. L. Boorman 

 and J.H.M.). " Mallee Box," Moondana, Parish Flinders, Nymagee district (Forest 

 Guard E. F. Rogers). 



Gilgandra (R. H. Cambage No. 1135, with photo, of a clump of saplings, already

" A Box growing on flats, black soil plains, by side of river, medium-sized trees." 

 Narrabri West (J. L. Boorman). " Narrow-leaved Box. Bark whitish-grey, like that

 I also saw it growing in the Forbes district." Narrabri (Henry Deane). (I have not 

 seen the Forbes specimens — J.H.M.)
