Victoria. 
As regards Victoria, Mueller gives the south, north-east, and east. Speaking 
of Gippsland, Howitt says :— 
This eucalypt is extremely constant in character, whether found in small isolated colonies in the 
littoral tracts, as at Providence Ponds and Morwell, or forming forests over large areas in the Gippsland 
Alps up to an elevation of 5,000 feet, as on the Wonnongatta Plains, at Omeo. Woolgulmerang, and Delegate. 
It appears to be essentially an alpine species, yet able to maintain itself, to some extent, in localities but 
little elevated above sea-level. 
South Australia. 
J. E. Brown figures it in his Forest Flora under the name “The South-eastern 
White Gum.” In this State the species is, as yet, only known to exist in the south¬ 
eastern district, and there merely in patches a short distance of the sea-coast. The 
localities are—Dismal Swamp (Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods) and Benara Estate 
(Beale). The late Professor Tate records it from the volcanic area of the south-east 
corner of the province, or the Mount Gamhier district. Both in Victoria and South 
Australia it is recorded from the coast, a habitat I believe to he quite unknown in 
New South "Wales. 
New South Wales. 
It occurs usually at fairly high elevations, preferring undulating grassy 
country in the ranges and high table-lands from south to north of the State. As 
already indicated, it ascends to the greatest elevation of any tree in the State. It 
consequently forms the limit of arboreal vegetation, the “ tree-line ” which, on 
Mount Kosciusko, is about 6,500 feet. 
Propagation. —Trees raised from seed gathered in our coldest localities are 
hardy in many parts of England.
