NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 329 



fall. I endeavoured to see Mueller's type many years ago, 

 but it was detained by Mueller's trustees for a number of 

 years, and was not seen by me until Prof. Ewart showed 

 it to me in August, 1911. 



Mueller's locality for the type is given in the description 

 as "Fraser's Range, South Western Australia." The 

 specimen itself bears the inscription "100 miles north of 

 Israelite Bay" and doubtless refers to the same locality. 

 My locality for E. Morrisoni is " 50 — 150 miles east of 

 Kalgoorlie," Transcontinental Railway Survey, is new, but 

 is in the same general locality as the preceding. 



6. E. odorata, Behr and Schlecht. 



This tree is so imperfectly known as a member of the 

 New South Wales flora, that the following particulars in 

 regard to a tree which I critically examined on the spot 

 will be acceptable. 



Fairly large tree, trunk eighteen inches in diameter. 

 Bark black, scaly, hard. Timber excessively hard and 

 interlocked, deep brownish-red in colour, certainly with a 

 shade of red in it. Foliage dull ; juvenile leaves narrow. 

 Buds clavate and somewhat angular, fruits small, shiny, 

 hemispherical-cylindroid, tips of valves well sunk, pedun- 

 cles long, pedicels short. 



Not well known in the district, and hence called "Bastard 

 Box," a term often applied by bushmen to a tree they do 

 not well know, and not necessarily suggestive of hybridism. 



Girilambone, 410 miles west of Sydney, on the Travelling 

 Stock Route from Railway Station in direction of the Mine, 

 half a mile from the Station. 



The above tree a friend tested with an axe, and timber 

 and bark and complete set of specimens were obtained. It 

 is the type form of E. odorata, nearest to that described 

 as E. cajuputea, F.v.M. (Crit. Rev., Part xi, p. 27) in con-
