OBSERVATIONS ON THE EUCALYPTS OF N.S.W., 
black dots (like E. punctata), while the parenchymatous tissue is 
more or less channelled. These appearances are also seen in some 
forms of E. amygdalina and other species, and we draw attention 
to them in order that too great importance be not attached to 
them. In E. punctata these black dots were considered to 
indicate a specific difference. 
The shape of the leaves is lanceolate to broadly lanceolate. 
The leaves are smaller than those of E. coriacea. The venation 
springs from the petiole, and the primary veins are prominent and 
roughly parallel to the midrib. 
Timber. — Pale coloured, rarely free from gum-veins, warps 
seriously, a sound log of any size very rare; of little value for 
purposes other than fuel. Timber that shrinks much in drying 
may do so regularly or irregularly. Those of the first class 
have, when dry, practically the same shape as the original piece, 
but those of the second class take on irregular shapes. The 
timbers of E. stellulata and E. coriacea belong to the latter class. 
Variations from type. — var. angustifolia, Benth. (Syn. E. 
micropliylla, A. Cunn. partly) with small, narrow leaves. 
Highest parts of the Blue Mountains, e.g., Blackheath and Mt. 
Victoria. Occurring with the ordinary form in the Kanimbla 
Yalley. See fig. 8. 
Range. — Typical form. — The tops of the ranges on the 
N.S.W.-Victorian border, thence following the Dividing Range 
and its spurs at least as far north as the New England Ranges, 
and as far west as 18 miles west of Bathurst, on the Silurian; also 
at Rylstone. We have specimens from these localities, but it 
may be reasonably expected to be found further north and further 
west, in mountainous districts. 
Eucalyptus coriacea, A. Cunn. 
Introductory. — This is the name given in the Flora Austra- 
liensis. Sieber's name E. pauciflora has doubtful priority, but it 
is so inappropriate (no Eucalypt flowering more freely than this), 
while Cunningham's name is remarkably appropriate, that we feel 
it our duty to adopt the name E. coriacea for this species.
