NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 455 



Elmer, ("Leaflets Philippine Botany," vol. 7, p. 2351, 1914), 

 and Eucalyptus binacag Elmer (op. cit., vol. 8, p. 2776, 

 1915), Agusan Province, Mindanao, Philippines, are 

 synonyms of the above species. See also Merrill in "Philipp. 

 Journ. Science," O. Botany, x, 3 May, 1915, 207.

This imperfectly known and valuable forest species was 

 hitherto only known from the Southern Monaro and towards 

 the South Coast, N.S.W. A distinct addition to its range 

 is shown in specimens collected by Forest Overseer Matts- 

 son (communicated by Forester Gordon Burrows) from 

 Nundle, 38 miles east of Tamworth. It occurs on the 

 eastern fall of the Great Dividing Range, at an average 

 elevation of 2,300 feet above sea-level (Forest Assessor 

 Julius). Its range and abundance are being further inquired 

 into. It does not attain the enormous dimensions of the 

 Delegate trees, but it is still a tall tree, often 50 to 60 feet 

 to the first limb. Bark described as "whitish, woolly not 

 unlike that of our interior White Box in texture." It is 

 locally known as "Scrub Box." The timber is much 

 esteemed by saw-millers and reminds one of those of E. 

 goniocalyx (Mountain Gum), E. microcorys (Tallow Wood), 

 and E. maculata (Spotted Gum). The leaves of the northern 

 tree also display those small tubercles irregularlydistributed 

 along the margins of the leaves, and are notable if only 

 because they have so rarely been seen in the genus. Their 

 occurrence on the southern trees has already been referred to.

The specimen of Mallee from Burracoppin (Dr. J. B. 

 Cleland), referred to at Grit. Rev. ii, 235 and figures 7a 

 and 7b of Plate 75, is wrongly referred to E. pyriformis 

 Turcz. var. minor Maiden. It is rather to be referred to
