492 J. H. MAIDEN. 
A few miles to the east and south of Normanton (Gulf of 
Oarpentaria, Queensland), on asandy cretaceous formation 
containing ironstone pebbles. 
Also occurs on Normanton-Cloncurry road between 
Normanton and Flinders River. 
Normanton (Ivie Murchie). 
The description has been drawn up from Mr. Cambage’s 
No. 3930, with the exception of that of the ripe bud and 
stamens in which Mr. Murchie’s specimen has been used. 
Affinity. 
With EH. gracilis F.v.M. It is closely allied to this species, 
but the leaves are of a different texture, and there is a 
sticky exudation in patches, the result of insect punctures. 
The juvenile leaves are broader and have a different vena- 
tion to that of EK. gracilis. There are no conspicuous oil- 
dots on the buds, as in the case of HE. gracilis. The fruits, 
although very similar in shape to those of E. gracilis, are 
crowned by the persistent staminal rings as in some of 
the Ironbarks and Boxes. 
J. H. Tenison-Woods? speaks of EH. gracilis in Queensland, 
but we now know that most of the specimens to which he 
refers belong to H. Thozetiana F.v.M. Local observers 
might, however, inquire if those trees seen by him “‘ on the 
dry sandy scrubs on the Burdekin River, not far from 
Charters Towers,’’ refer to that or the present species.
