Variety minor. 
In the Agricultural Gazette, N.S.W ., ix, 581 (1898), in an article " Mount Seaview 
and the Way Thither," I constituted the above variety. 
There is a small-leaved form of the Lilly Pilly (Eugenia Smithii). It is very abundant on the banks 
of the Hastings River, where it is up to 30 feet in height and 1 foot in diameter. 
It is a small-leaved tree with leaves (say) 1J by inch. Leaves much the same shape as those of 
E. Smithii, but much smaller. This characteristic is constant over a large area, and I therefore propose 
the name minor for this variety. It was in flower when I collected it, and I thought it might be 
E. parvifolia C. Moore, but the spreading calyx shows that that cannot be the case. Leaves, flowers, and 
fruits are alike smaller than those of the normal species. 
Following are some ascertained localities of this variety which, like the normal 
species, requires more careful collecting to ascertain its range : 
Beginning south, the following are -localities represented in the National 
Herbarium : 
Stewart's Brook, tributary of the Upper Hunter River (J.H.M.) ; Upper Hastings 
River (type locality), (J.H.M.). Dorrigo (J.H.M.). 
" A very distinct plant from the normal species, being of a more tapering growth, 
and grows to a long slender tree of 10-20 feet or more high, much after the style of 
Myrtus fragrantissima." Dorrigo (J. L. Boorman). 
Tunstall, Richmond River (H. Tanner). 
20-60 feet, Acacia Creek, Macpherson Range (Wm. Dunn). 
Mount Warning, near Murwillumbah (W. Forsyth). 
The above are New South Wales localities; doubtless it is common enough in 
Queensland.
