416 J. H. MAIDEN AND R. H. CAMBAGE. 
The type of H. nitida is figured at Plate xxix of Hooker’s 
Fl. Tas. (Botany of Tasmania). What Hooker says about 
it has been quoted at p. 158 of the “Critical Revision.’’ 
Compare with p. 163. 
We are of opinion that B. is conspecific with EH. nitida, 
Hook. f., and that that species is sufficiently distinct from 
E. amygdalina, Labill. Thus H. nitida should be added to 
the flora of New South Wales (it will probably be found in 
Victoria); it is not exclusively a Tasmanian species. 
Bentham, as already indicated, combined E. amygdalina 
and H. nitida, and Rodway agreed with him. Messrs. 
Baker and Smith dissent,? but do not publish their 
evidence. 
Mr. Oambage’s No. 2004 from Kydra Trig. Station, 
Kybean, (4,030 feet), north-east by east of Nimitybelle, 
New South Wales, is from a locality connecting Blackheath 
with Tasmania. Here the plant is mallee-like and 6-8 
feet high. 
Tasmanian specimens.—Certain specimens quoted by 
Hooker are referred to in the ‘‘Oritical Revision,’’ p. 163, 
together with a specimen by Milligan, and the notes need 
not be reprinted. Comparing these specimens, and Hooker’s 
figure, the leaves of the Tasmanian forms are longer and 
narrower than those of New South Wales, but we find the 
character not constant, since there are transition forms 
both in Tasmania and New South Wales. 
Ten to fifteen feet high. Towards summit of Mount 
Bischoff, Waratah, West Tasmania (R. H. Cambage 4103). 
Small stunted trees near summit of Mount Roland (3,700 
feet) near Sheffield (R. H. Cambage Nos. 4097 and 4099). |
