Remarks. — The material of this tree for investigation 

 was collected by Mr. 0. F. Laseron, the Museum Collector* 

 at Tenterfield, where it passes as the "Bastard Stringy- 

 bark." His herbarium material appears to be identical 

 with specimens collected by Mr. A. Rudder in the Upper 

 Williams district. 



The fruits somewhat resemble those of E. virgata, Sieb. 

 or E. Sieberiana, but then the timber, bark and oil differ 

 from these species. The oil of E. virgata consists almost 

 entirely of eudesmol, as shown in our work on " The 

 Eucalypts and their Essential Oils." Fruits, timber and 

 oil differentiate it from E. obliqua, which species has been 

 collected in almost the same neighbourhood, at Mount 

 McKenzie, Tenterfield. 



There is a distinguishing feature of the species in its 

 very early fruits, which are quite bell shaped and remind
