At Bathurst and Wiseman’s Creek we have a form with slightly sloping rims 
to the fruit. At Orange and Cowra the var. dealbata is nearer the Wellington type. 
At Lyndhurst we have very glaucous, small fruits, between var. dealbata and 
var. latifolia. 
Other specific westerly localities are:—Stuart Town; Minore; Dubbo to 
Tomingley and Peak Hill; Harvey Bange. 
It is often stunted and nearly like a mallee in the dry country, e.g., at 
Mount Boppy (the most north-western locality recorded, It. H. Cambage), Nymagee, 
Byrock, and Gundong Creek on the Bogan. 
Then we have it rather common in the Warrumbungle Bange (W. Horsyth), 
some specimens showing strong affinity in buds and fruits to E. rostrata (Murray 
Bed Gum). Other localities in the district for var. dealbata are Gilgandra; top of 
Nandi Hill near Coonabarabran (fruits sessile and rim rather domed); plains near 
Baradine; and Cobborah to Merrygoen. 
Crossing over to the North-western Line we have it abundant near Narrabri, 
and a very small-fruited form at Boggabri. 
It is the Brown-barked Gum of New England according to Christie’s 
specimen 4 e.* 
On New England, as far west as Barraba, it is common ; also near Tinglia, 
where it is very glaucous ; at Merriwa it approaches the typical species, while on 
the Liverpool Bange it is common. Near Murrurundi, on the gravelly ridges and 
sandstone rocks, it grows as large as the normal species. The buds are very 
glaucous. At Bullock Creek, near Trundle, Mr. B. II. Cambage found it with 
ovoid, nearly hemispherical, buds. Charles Stuart collected it in New England and 
wrote—“30-40 feet. Bark corrugated, very hard, but not very rugose, separating in 
small pieces three-quarters of an inch thick.” The Bev. Bobert Collie calls it 
“Soft Gum” (ranges between Tenterfield and border). Its abundance in New 
England makes it reasonable to expect it in Queensland, say about Stanthorpe, and 
it should be found in the drier country of the west of that State. 
2. Var. latifolia, Benth., B.E1. iii, 242. “Leaves ovate to lanceolate. 
Elowers with a strong cimicine smell. Shoalwater Passage—B. Brown.” Brown 
named this form E. cimicina. It has nearly ovoid buds, and the intramarginal veins 
are sometimes so well marked as to give the leaves a triplinerved appearance, hence 
Tauscli, in the Vienna Herbarium, named it E. triplinervis. The common “ Swamp 
Gum ” of New South Wales is often markedly triplinerved. 
I have provisionally included with E. cimicina the common broad-leaved or 
swamp form of E. tereticornis, to whicli it undoubtedly possesses considerable
