the true "Parker Gum" allied to or identical with the 

 Morrel " (E. oleosa var. longicornis). 



So here we have, from two sources, var. gracilis known 

 as "Morrel." We also know that the true "Morrel" is 

 E. oleosa, P.v.M. var. longicornis, F.v.M. The two trees 

 are also known colloquially as " Parker Gum." The bush- 

 man recognises the affinity of E. calycogona, Turcz. var. 

 gracilis, Maiden and E. oleosa, F.v.M. var. longicornis, 

 F.v.M. and botanicaily there is no doubt that the species 

 E. calycogona and E. oleosa are closely related. 



Additional localities are : — 



Sandhills east of Ooldea, S.A. Transcontinental Railway 

 Survey. A graceful Mallee of about twenty feet, "Congel" 

 of the blacks, who eat the bark of the root. A dwarf, 

 comparatively sturdy Mallee, Streaky Bay, S.A. — (Henry 

 Deane.) 



It is not common in New South Wales, having been 

 recorded hitherto from such dry areas as Mount Hope (on 

 the Euabalong road) and Went worth. We want to be able 

 to define its New South Wales range better. 



A Queensland form. — I now desire to invite attention 

 to a form first received from Mr. Ivie Murchie from Nor- 

 manton, Queensland, not far from the Gulf of Carpentaria, 

 in November, 1911, under the name of "Box Wood." 



Enquiries failed to elicit any further particulars until 

 Mr. R. H. Cambage collected it at the same place in 

 August, 1913. He obtained a full suite of specimens and 

 furnished the following particulars: — "No. 3930. Small 

 Box-trees of ten to thirty feet, sometimes suggestive of 

 Mallee. Leaves bright green, somewhat shiny, give no 

 odour of oil when crushed. Box-bark on trunk and large 

 branches. Upper branches sometimes smooth and greenish. 



"Formation pebbly (ironstone) and sandy; Cretaceous?
