RANGE. 



The typical form is found in the Yarrafigobilly, Batlow, and TumbeiumLa 

 districts,, and it has been found in the mountainous country in the counties of Wellesley, 

 Wallace and Selwyn, in south-eastern New South Wales. It has been so long confused 

 with other White Gums, that there is little doubt that its range will be very greatly 

 extended on critical inquiry. 



It undoubtedly occurs in the adjacent country in Gippsland, Victoria. It is 

 highly probable that the " broad-suckered viminalis " from Tasmania (e.g., Hobart). 

 (Chimney Pot HilL L. Rodway) and Sheffield (R. H. Cambage). and the Dec (J.H.M.), 

 referred to in my paper in Proc. Roy. Hoc. Tas.. 1918. p. 88, belongs to this species. 



Following are some representative specimens from New South Wales : — 



" A Mountain Ghim." Peppercorn Plain, Yarrangobilly, about 20 miles north 

 of Kiandra, elevation about 4,700 feet. W. A. W. de Beuzeville, Nos. 1 , 2, 3. A large 

 tree as described in his letter, No. 409120, January, 1920. (The type.) 



" Mountain Gum," Bago Forest Reserve, Batlow district (de Beuzeville, Xo. 1, 

 January, and also March, 1917). 



" A White Gum," Yellowin Creek, Bago Forest Reserve (de Beuzeville, Xo. 2, 

 January, 1917). 



'" Large Gum-trees," Laurel Hill, Tumberumba (R. H. Cambage, No. 847). 

 Considered at one time as coming between E. rabida and E. ovata (acervula). 



' This is like a broad-suckered E. viminalis, but the timber is much inferior to 

 the ordinary. This tree grows generally on poor soil, and is usually stunted. 

 Occasonally a large specimen may be seen growing with the ordinary viminalis." 

 Tallaganda Forest. Braidwood-Queanbeyan district (W. A. W. de Beuzeville, October, 

 1918, No. 14). 



" An inferior White Gum," Parker's Gap, same general locality (de Beuzeville, 

 October, 1918, No. 5). 



(Mr. de BeuzevihVs No. 9. same place and date, is called " Ribbon Gum," and 

 has the conventional narrow suckers of E. viminalis.)
