NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 447 



3 cm. long by 2*5 cm. broad, striate, tapering somewhat 

 abruptly into the pedicel. 



The affinity in anthers is with E. pyriformis, leptopoda, 

 and Olclfieldii (see Orit. Rev. vol. 2); the resemblance in 

 the fruits to those of E. leucoxylon P.v.M. var. macrocarpa 

 J. E. Brown, (Orit. Rev. vol. ii, pi. 56, fig. 12) is considerable.

I am indebted to Mr. R. S. Richardson, late Acting 

 Inspector-General of Forests of Western Australia for the 

 following account by District Ranger Ferguson of a little- 

 known species. It is sometimes known as "Salmon Gum," 

 but it must not be confused with E. salmonophloia F.v.M. 



"This tree is growing on a diorite hill near Ooolgardie. 

 It is a young tree (20 years more or less). It has no trunk, 

 but the limbs appear to grow and spread from the ground 

 more like a very large Mallee. The bark is much the same 

 as Gimlet Gum (E. salubris) but the wood is not twisted. 

 The wood is like the Salmon Gum (E. salmonophloia) in 

 colour, and the leaves are more like the Salmon Gum in 

 colour and growth. It is a late flowering tree and carries 

 large quantities of seed vessels. This tree stands about 

 40 feet and its branches spread and droop like a willow. 

 The thickest part of the tree is about eight inches in 

 diameter, and the limbs spread from the ground." 



I still have been unable to obtain the juvenile foliage and 

 adventitious shoots ("suckers"), but the seedlings are 

 petiolate and narrow-lanceolate.

This Western Australian species has only previously been 

 recorded from Goongarrie, and also from 70 miles north of 

 Kurrawang, localities on the Eastern Goldfields close to 

 each other. Dr. F. Stoward has now sent it (No. 86) from 

 Bulla Bulling, about 20 miles west of Ooolgardie, a locality
