Following are Victorian localities : 
Moorabool River (P. R. H. St. John) ; Hawkesdale (H. B. Williamson) ; Wando 
Vale, 7th April, 1842, Weeping Gum, red (sic.) timber (J. G. Robertson, No. 242). 
South Australia. Cave Range, Forest Reserve, S.A. (Walter Gill). 
Tasmania. In front of University, Hobart (J.H.M.) ; Circular Head Sandhills 
(Gunn, No. 1090). 
Vernacular Names. Usually known as White Gum in New South Wales, 
and usually a prominent object, with predominantly white bark. 
Although it is more frequently known as Manna Gum in Victoria (Gipps- 
land) than in New South Wales, it sometimes goes under that name in the latter State, 
chiefly on the Monaro, sharing it with E. rubida. 
Howitt says it is called " River Gum " in Gippsland, since it lines the banks of 
streams. 
In New South Wales it is often called Ribbony Gum, because it has long, thin 
darker coloured deciduous strips. These ribbons are best seen on wet windy days. 
They then flatten out and are seen to be of great length like streamers or pennants. 
A very old name in Victoria (e.g., Robertson, of Wando Vale) was " Weeping 
Gum," as the branches are more or less pendulous. 
Aboriginal Name. In the Yarra district of Victoria it was formerly called 
" Binnap " by the aborigines. I have been surprised that I have not been able to find 
additional names for a tree which must have been well known to the natives. 
Synonym.8. There is a complicated synonymy, which has been discussed at 
p. 171, Part XXVIII, of my " Critical Revision," and to which I refer interested 
readers. There seems to be sufficient evidence that E. angustifolia Desf., E. saccha- 
rifera F.v.M., E. crucivalvis F.v.M., and E. elata Dehn. (in part) are true synonyms. 
Juvenile Leaves. The typical juvenile leaves are narrow and moderately 
long (say about 1 cm. wide and 5 cm. long). They are very common, this being one 
of the species in which they are most abundant. As a rule, these juvenile leaves 
(similar to suckers) grow quickly, partly because the species grows under favourable 
conditions for plant-life, i.e., moderately deep and even good soil, and plenty of water. 
But where the growth is impeded, owing to shallow, and even impervious soil, and during 
periods of drought, the juvenile leaves may be shorter and even short, broadish, and 
otherwise abnormal. But while such abnormalities are not rare, in a species which 
produces juvenile leaves so freely, and while individual specimens have caused a good 
deal of contemplation and discussion, it seems proper to say that the normal juvenile 
leaves are long and narrow, but that they may vary in dimensions and texture. This 
is only emphasising the point that every organ varies in Eucalyptus. The same remarks 
can be made conversely, though with less emphasis, as regards the chiefly Tasmanian 
E. viminalis, but in that species the juvenile leaves are broad, though with some tendency 
to a narrower width.
