NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 73 



whose range it extends still further northward from the 

 Scone district. The affinity of the two species (see under 

 Affinities xxiv, p. 77) is also emphasised. 



9. E. sepulcralis F.v.M., "Weeping Gum." 



See C.R., vm, 244. 



One is gradually accumulating information in regard 

 to this very rare and very interesting W.A. species. 

 The type (See Eucalyptographia) came from " near the 

 Thomas (River, Campbell Taylor)," a small stream which 

 has disappeared from most maps, even official ones. It 

 Hows into the sea a few miles to the north-west of Cape 

 Arid. Taylor's Station, however, remains on the maps. 

 I have received valuable information both from Mr. W. C. 

 Grasby and from Mr. F. W. Wakefield. Mr. J. Wellstead 

 sent me seeds from Eyre's Range, ten miles nortli of 

 Hopetoun. 



I pointed out in Part viii, C.R., p. 244, how little is 

 known of the affinities of this species. The seedlings 

 raised in the Botanic Gardens show that its closest relation 

 is E. buprestium F.v.M., and that both species present 

 considerable affinity to the Corymbosae. They have huge 

 cotyledon leaves. 



10. E. todtiana F.v.M. (Eucalyptographia). 



Mr. C. E. Lane Poole in his Report on the W. A. Forest 

 Department, ending 31st December 1917, calls it "Prickly 

 Bark." He writes to me, "It is a good burner, but it is 

 disregarded by the housewife for fire-wood on account of 

 its many prickles. Often called Coastal Blackbutt." A 

 reference to this phenomenon will be found under E. Con- 

 sideniana Mailen, this Journ. Li, 448, and I invite atten- 

 tion to a subject concerning which we have but few records.
