Messrs. Baker and Smith describe* EH. Perriniana, F.v.M. 
and arrive at the conclusion that “‘Morphologically they 
(E. Gunnit and E. Perriniana) are distinct, whilst EH. 
Perriniana is identical with the tree growing at Tingiringi 
Mountain, N.S.W.”’ 
In the following year Rodway’ again speaks of EH. Per- 
riniana as growing into the typical HE. Gunnii. 
Baker and Smith’®’ claim the species on the ground that 
it had not been described before they had done so in 1902. 
Rodway’s account of it in 1893 is available to anybody, 
and if that first meritorious though not complete description 
be brushed aside, then the number of Hucalyptus descrip- 
tions which must also be abandoned on similar grounds 
would be very many. I have touched upon* this point 
already, which is one apart from the question as to whether 
E. Perriniana is a valid species or not, (I believe it is). 
It is found in Tasmania, and in the highlands of north- 
eastern Victoria and south-eastern New South Wales. 
I have received it from the following localities :-— 
Tasmania.—The Hamilton-Ouse District (L. Rodway). 
New South Wales.—Snowy Mountains, elevation of 5,000 
feet (W. Bauerlen); Mount Kosciusko, on hill sides, 
elevation of about 6,000 feet. (J. H. M.)

Following are some notes made by me in front of the 
trees in the month of February :— 
Straggling small White Gum of 15-20 feet, with the 
usual lenticular patches on the bark. Not a Mallee. | 
Flowers in threes. Opercula hemispherical; the colour, 
which is very marked, is yellow to orange and red.
