164 J. H. MAIDEN. 



Buds — Not angular, with conical operculum, the calyx 

 tapering into the pedicel. 



Flowers — Anthers very similar to those of E. odorata; 

 the stigma slightly dilated. 



Fruits — Small, conoid to subcylindrical, say 3 mm. (^ 

 inch) long, tapering to a pedicel rather exceeding that 

 length, into a common peduncle of 9 mm. (f inch); rim 

 distinct, valves usually 4, well sunk. 



This tree has received both attention and neglect, because 

 it has been by some looked upon as included in E.Woollsiana 

 R. T. Baker. As I have now no hesitation in saying that 

 it is not included in E. Woollsiana (compare Mr. Baker's 

 figures of that species), and as I am of opinion that it has 

 not been formally described as a species, I offer it as new. 

 Inasmuch as it is so common in the Pilliga Scrub, New 

 South Wales, that the district may be looked upon as a 

 focus of it, the specific name chosen may be useful. 



Illustrations. — See Part XI, plate 51, figures 27 - 30 of my 

 "Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus." See also 

 my "Forest Flora of New South Wales," Part XLI, plate 

 152, figures B and 0, for much larger and better figures. 

 These were all drawn from a specimen collected by me at 

 Narrabri, N.S.W., in November 1899, and form the type. 

 A photo, block of saplings at Gilgandra, N.S.W. (R. H. 

 Oambage) was backed by specimens referable to this new 

 species. All the figures were labelled E. odorata var.

Synonym.

Range. 

 So far as I know, this species is confined to New South 

 Wales and Queensland, but we have much to learn in regard 

 to its range in these, and possibly in other States. It is
