NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 69 



The normal form of E, Gillii is restricted to South Aus- 

 tralia (Flinders Range and farther north), and the Broken 

 Hill district of New South Wales, so far as we know at 

 present. As regards the latter State, the following is an 

 additional definite locality. Height thirty feet. In bases 

 of rocky valleys in wild rocky hills. Mundi Mundi Trig. 

 Station, Broken Hill district. (E. O. Andrews). 



Var. petiolaris var. nov. 



A shrub or small tree apparently in all characters similar 

 to that of typical E. Gillii except that the leaves are 

 petiolate (with petioles of about 1 cm.), and broadly lan- 

 ceolate in shape. The type from Wirrabarra, S.A. (Walter 

 Gill); see figs. 4a, 4b, Plate 67, O.R. 



Range. — This form is restricted to South Australia, so 

 far as we know at present, and includes E. socialis F.v.M. 

 var. laurjfolia F.v.M. (See O.R., Part xxv, p. 177, and 

 figs. 3a, 3b, Plate 67). The original came from "Pine 

 forest near Gawler Town (Behr.)" The modern Gawler is 

 on the North Railway line, about 25 miles north of Adelaide. 

 I have identical specimens from considerably further north, 

 viz. Laura, and Wirrabara Forest (W. Gill), which are 

 east of Port Pirie, and approach the Flinders Range. 

 Mount Lynhhurst (Max Koch, No. 113). In the Flinders 

 Range district. 



Affinities. — 1. E.transcontinentalis Maiden. It possesses 

 some resemblance to this species, from which it differs in 

 leaves, those of var. petiolaris being shorter and broader, 

 with buds less rostrate, and with fruits more spherical and 

 less urceolate. Both plants are glaucous. 



2. E. oleosa F.v.M. In foliage it presents some resem- 

 blance to E.4urbinata F.v.M. and Behr., (O.R., xxv, 178, 

 and fig. 9, Plate 65), which is an aberrant form of E. oleosa 

 F.v.M. The buds at once separate it from E. Gillii var. 

 petiolaris.
