Later on I was able to convince Dr. A. W. Howitt of the validity of E. Baueriana 
in contradistinction to E. polyanthemos. The previous paragraph refers to the former. 
Dr. Howitt deserves the credit of working out the range of E. Baueriana in 
Gippsland. In that portion of Victoria it is known as " Cabbage Box." It occurs 
about Metung, Nowa Nowa (an arm of Lake Tyers), Heyfield, and Bairnsdale, on the 
littoral strip about the Lakes' Entrance, also on river flats only. It does not occur in 
South Gippsland. 
I found it called " Apple Box " around Metung, and have received it from the 
Werribee River from the late C. Walter. 
NEW SOUTH WALES. 
Southern Localities. George's River (collected by Robert Brown, 1802-5). 
Distributed from the British Museum at least as early as 1876, under the number 4,734, 
under the name of E. subrotunda, and also that of E. polyanthemos Schauer. 
Grose River and banks of Nepean River, near its confluence with the Grose. 
Robert Brown collected here about May, 1803, and January, 1805. Mr. R. H. Cambage 
and I collected it here. 
North Richmond, near the Hawkesbury Agricultural College (C. T. Musson). 
Richmond (W. Woolls). Dr. Woolls always called it Lignum vitse or Poplar-leaved 
Box. The three last localities are near to each other. 
Penrith (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). St. Mary's, South Creek (R. T. Baker). 
Type of E. Fletcheri. 
All the above localities are Sydney to the Blue Mountains. 
" Blue Box," Bankstown and Cabramatta (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman) ; 
Liverpool (H. Deane); Edensor Park, Liverpool (J.H.M.); Glenfield to Minto and 
George's River (J. L. Boorman). 
Cobbitty, Banks of Nepean, near Camden (J.H.M. and R. H. Cambage). 
Thirlmere (W. Cuneo). Co-type of E. Fletcheri. Also collected by R. H. 
Cambage. Milton (R. H. Cambage), who furnishes the note : " Bark rough up to 
ultimate branchlets." Mr. J. S. Allen, Inspecting Forester of the district, says that 
it occurs from Milton to Eden. 
I collected it about Pambula. At the saw-mill there it is known as " Black 
Box," because of the dark foliage of the tree. The timber is much valued locally, 
though in this district it is rare to get a log large enough for milling purposes. 
The rough bark is up to the ultimate branchlets. It is hard to grub out, and 
it suckers badly. It seems to be usually found in good land. It also goes by the name 
of " Round-leaf Box," " Broad-leaved Box," and " Brown Box." 
Wolumla (A. W. Howitt); Moruya (E. Breakwell); near Cobargo (W. Dunn). 
The above four are localities south coastal from Sydney.
