Specimens from the following Victorian localities are in the National 
Her In irium, Sydney. < )wing to the difficulty of discriminating between E. goniocalyx 
and E. Cambagei with imperfect material, it is possible that one or two of these 
specimens may he E. Cambagei :—Beech worth (Falck) and Pyrenees (both 
specimens glaucous) ; Fainting Range, Walhalla, Bairnsdale (A. W. Howitt) ; 
Warrandyte, “smooth-harked variety” (C. Walter) ; Goulburn River, near Bunyip 
River, Blacks’ Spur, and Darlimurla (H. Deane); Upper Barwon, Mount Macedon 
(J. H. Maiden); “ Grey Box,” Lilydale (A. W. Howitt); Healesville (C. Walter) ; 
Fern-tree Gully (R. H. Camhage); Dandenong (J. H. Maiden). 
New South Wales .—With us, E. goniocalyx is usually known as Mountain 
Gum; I have also heard it called Blue Gum, Ribbon Gum, and other names. It is 
usually found in gullies—bottoms or sides,—and prefers good soil. It attains a 
diameter of 6 feet, and with 80 or 90 feet of barrel. Its timber has been passed 
both for Tallow-wood (E. microcorys) and Box (E hemphloia), but it more closely 
resembles the former. It is very hard when dry, and nails do not readily drive in 
it; hence it is not so well liked for building purposes as some softer but inferior 
timbers. It stands well in the ground. 
While not of equal merit to Ironhark, Tallow-wood, and other first-class 
timbers of the State, it is undoubtedly of considerable value, and deserves an 
honourable place amongst the timbers of the second-class. 
In New South Wales it is sometimes known as “ Yellow Gum,” owing to the 
yellowish cast of the foliage (especially when young), of the bark, and of the timber 
(particularly when fresh). There are several so-called “Yellow Gums” in New 
South IVales, but they must not be confused with the “ Yellow Box ” or “ Yellow 
Jacket” [E. melliodora). 
In New South Wales it occurs in the South Coast districts, and also in the 
Coast and Main Range, and its spurs at least as far north and west as the Blue 
Mountains. We require further investigation to determine its northern boundary. 
Following are some localities in this State represented in the National Herbarium,
