NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 331 



The line of demarcation, at least as regards leaves, 

 between E. clavigera and E. clavigera Dallachiana (E. 

 papuana) is, however, not sharp, particularly as regards 

 Melville Island and Papuan specimens. I will bring this out 

 in my "Critical Revision," as illustrations are necessary. 



E. papuana came from the mainland of New Guinea 

 (Papua), opposite Yule Island, and about twelve miles 

 distant from the shore. 



8. B. Seeana, Maiden, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxix, 469, 



(1904). 



Following are additional localities for a species at one time 

 deemed to be rare: — 



Port Macquarie to Telegraph Point, near the seven-mile 

 post from the former place. In poor ill-drained land. (R. H. 

 Oambage and J.H.M.) 



Tree three feet in diameter and fifty feet high, larger 

 than I have previously seen it. With pedicels thicker than 

 in the type. The prevalent colour of the foliage is dull, 

 and it is somewhat rich in oil. We found numbers of very 

 narrow-leaved seedlings. 



There is some general similarity in the appearance of the 

 seedlings of E. Seeana and E. squamosa, Deane and Maiden, 

 but the cotyledon leaves are bilobed in the former case, and 

 bisected in the latter. 



"Cabbage Gum," Tooloom. Occurring at various points 

 between Drake and Tabulam. Good for posts but bad for 

 splitting or sawing. Withstands bush fires, which run 

 round it and only blacken it." (R. H. Cambage, No. 2898.)
