I have a specimen from the Mt. Brown Forest Reserve, S.A. (W. Gill), 
which has bright green foliage, and is hence sharply differentiated from the glaucous 
White Pine (C. robusta ) growing with it. But while the cones appear to resemble 
those of C. robusta a good deal, one cone has two of the valves more or less warted, 
as shown in the drawing. While the old cones are nearly sessile (like verrucosa and 
calcarata), the younger ones have thinnish and rather long pedicels, as often seen in 
C. robusta. The column is that of C. verrucosa and C. robusta. 
An unusually large-fruited specimen from Franklin Harbour, Spencer’s Gulf 
(Peter McKechnie, through Bishop Hale), is in the Melbourne Herbarium. 
I have referred to the South Australian specimens at some length partly 
because they are obtained from localities not far from that of the type, and partly 
to put observers on their guard. If one were inclined to “ lump,” the Australian 
Callitrises might go under three or four species, so much do they resemble each 
other. 
Western Australia. 
Bald Island (Oldfield),, tree of 15 or 20 feet. “ The Bald Island Pine of the 
Colonists.”—(Oldfield.) Some of the cones being sparingly tuberculate, like those of 
the Kangaroo Island tree, show some resemblance to C. verrucosa. Coast at Bremer 
Bay (J. Wellstead, comm. A. Morrison) has much the facies of C. Muelleri as 
regards the fruits (egg-shell lustre, column, and dark seeds). 
Victoria. 
Under F. Muelleri, Parlatore (in DC. Prod., xvi (2), 450) gives the loc. 
“ ... ad Port Phillip Heads.” I have seen the specimens, which are from the 
Quarantine Station, collected by Mrs. Barker and others. I am of opinion that they 
belong to C. propinqua, though I readily admit their similarity to C. Muelleri ; but 
their smooth branchlets remove them from that species. 
New South Wales. 
I am of opinion that the Cypress Pine of Quiedong, Bombala, belongs to 
this species. This is limestone country, and the trees, which have been carefully 
examined by me, have branchlets very close to those of C. verrucosa (as, indeed, 
other specimens of propinqua have). 
Specimens from Acting Forester J. Bear, of Wentworth, “ growing on sandy 
ridges, and the only Pine in the district,” connect with the South Australian 
specimens, and appear to be also referable to propinqua. The Quiedong and 
Wentworth specimens have cones larger than those of propinqua usually arc. 
Mr. R. T. Baker describes and figures ( Proc. Linn. Soc., N.S. TV., xxviii, 
839) a new species, confined to the Rylstone district, under the name of C. gracilis.
