324 J. H. MAIDEN. 



sends me a photograph of a tree twenty-five feet in height 

 and Mr. Max Koch says that it is a tree of thirty feet at 

 Oowcowing, Western Australia. Some forms of var. 

 gracilis perhaps showing hybridism, may be larger. 



Additional localities (normal species) are "Mallee," 

 Parilla, near Pinnaroo, near the South Australian-Victorian 

 border, with juvenile as well as mature foliage, flowers 

 and fruits (W. Gill). Murray Bridge to Callington, S.A. 

 (J. M. Black). "White Mallee," Sea Lake, Mallee Country, 

 Victoria (C. French, Jr.) Mildura, a form intermediate 

 between E. calycogona and var. gracilis (W. S. Campbell). 



Var. celastroides, Maiden. 

 Perhaps specimens from Stamford Hill, Port Lincoln, 

 S.A. (J.H.M.) and Fowler's Bay, S.A. (Dr. R. S. Rogers) 

 may be looked upon as forms intermediate between this 

 and var. gracilis. A little coarser than var. gracilis, fruit 

 larger than var. gracilis, and the calyx distinctly angled, 

 though not so conspicuous as in the normal form. The 

 urceolate fruit of var. celastroides is ofteu a useful guide. 



Var. gracilis, Maiden. 



Mueller's type of E. gracilis came from the Murray 

 River, S.A. The oil dots of the buds are prominent, and a 

 tendency to an angled calyx-tube is nearly always present. 

 There is some variation in this form in regard to the size 

 of the fruits and the length and thickness of the pedicel, 

 which is not surprising, considering its wide range. It 

 varies a good deal in regard to the quantity of oil in the 

 leaves. 



Mr. Max Koch, referring to trees at Oowcowing, W.A., 

 speaks of a small cylindroid fruited specimen as follows: — 

 "A tall tree of fifty or sixty feet high, trunk with rough 

 persistent bark, upper branches smooth. Known as 'Mor- 

 rel.' It grows in forests amongst Gimlet (E. salubris, F. v.M.) 

 and Salmon Gums (E. salmonophloia, F.v.M.), and is more 

 plentiful than the other so-called 'Morrel.'"
