This variety is widely spread but not very common in the Wide 
Bay District. It is very variable but on the v T hole is characterised by 
very narrow leaves ; some of those on the Fraser Island specimens measure 
up to 13 cm. long and only 3 mm. wide.

E. insulana F. M. Bail, in Queens. Agric. Journ. xvii. 103 (1906). 
E. exserta is one of the most widely distributed eucalypts in Queens- 
land. In going through our boxes of E. resinifera J. Sm. recently I came 
across specimens determined as such from Middle Percy Island collected 
by H. Tryon. These were evidently identical with Bailey ’s insulana and 
were much better than the specimens from the same collection on which 
he founded his species. I have no hesitation in, placing all the material 
I have seen under E. exserta F. Muell. which is abundant on the adjacent 
mainland.
