E. leucoxylov is badly infested with the parasitic Loranthus 
Miquelii, almost every tree seen in National Park being attacked 
by it. 
In considering the full extent of this species over the Mt. 
Lofty Ranges, Osborn (1) gives a list of 201 species associated 
vrith it. He refers (l.c. p. 129) to the blue (y^ellow) gum forest 
as a “Savannah Woodland Formation.” 
V DISTRIBUTION 
As a rule this species does not grow above the 1200 ft. alti- 
tude and is seen at its maximum development in the Gumeracha- 
Mt. Pleasant district. It is abundant on the eastern slopes of Mt. 
Lofty Range in the Ambleside district and is common from Belair 
to Eden and at Kuitpo. All these places are about 1100 feel 
above sea level. At \ ictor Flarbor it is growing close to the 
town at about ,i0 feet above sea level. It would appear that 
E. Browns observ'ation (300 to 1300 ft. altitude) is approximately' 
correct although we record it from a lower level (less than 100 ft. 
at Victor Harbor) than he shows. We also record It from Cherry’- 
ville, Torrens Gorge and Greenhill Road. 
The range given by Osborn and Adamson (1) is as follows; — 
Forests of the blue gum (yellow), L. leiicoxylon, cover for the 
most part the lower hills, foothills, and rolling country on either 
flank of the main (Mt. Lofty) range.”
