Poll owing arc some localities represented in the National Herbarium, 
Sydney:—Deniliquin (Porester O. Wilshire); Barham, Murray River (Assistant- 
Porester Chanter); Balranald (Forester G. S. M. Grant); “West of Grenfell” 
(District Porester Osborne). 
This is the Forest Oak cf the Wellington country, and is a tree very similar in appearance to the 
Swamp Oak (C. glauca, J.H.M.) of Port Jackson. It is a tree of about 50 feet in height, and of a stiff 
and by no means ornamental appearance. November, 1851.—(The late C. Moore.) 
Minore, near Dubbo (J. L. Boorman) ; Dubbo district (District Porester C. Marriott); 
Castlereagh River (? Collector); between Gilgandra and Gummin Gummin (W. 
Porsyth); Narrabri (J.H.M.) ; Gulgong (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). 
Emmaville.—Trees 20-40 feet high, 8-12 inches in diameter. Fairly plentiful in one particular 
district only, viz., Kennedy’s Paddock.—-(J. L. Boorman.) 
Yagobie, Moree-Inverellline(R. H. Cambage); Warialda(J.H.M. and J.L. Boorman), 
some miles to the east of the preceding locality; Minembah, Whittingliam, near 
Singleton (Roderick Browne), most eastern locality recorded. 
I have also notes that I have received it from Tocumwal, Narrandera, Ivanlioe, 
via Hay, Wagga Wagga, and Cowra, but as there are no specimens from these 
localities in the National Herbarium, I ask my many friends to make up the 
deficiency. 
The following notes of some localities of the species, written by Mr. R. H. 
Cambage in 1901, are very interesting. Of course, the species has been found over 
a greatly extended area since then. 
Near here, Eremeran Homestead, also is C. Luehmanni, Baker (Bull Oak), the first met with in 
coming from Bourke. This tree has an extensive range, and is very common in the Forbes to Dubbo 
districts. Although it does not appear to grow in the direct line between Bourke and Euabalong, yet to 
the east of this line it extends north and south, covering a strip of country at least 100 miles wide, and 
finally going north-west to Barringan (R. T. Baker) on the Queensland border. Its easterly course is 
stopped as soon as the cold highlands are approached, it being a distinctly warm-country species. The 
most eastern points are reached by its creeping up along the valleys of the large rivers. Near the 
Lachlan there are a few trees on Neila Station, 6 miles south-east of Cowra. Along the elevated parts of 
the Macquarie it maybe found in limited quantities, between Hill End and Bathurst, but its highest point 
is reached above the latter place, at one mile east of O’Connell; on the south side, and close to the Fish 
River, there are about a dozen stunted trees growing on a granite bluff. The specimens collected had only 
fruit in a very young stage, but the whole of the evidence available, including bark and wood, points to 
the conclusion that they have been properly identified. The land around is occupied, and it is likely that 
before long the species will be extinct in this locality. In no other place have I found it growing at an 
altitude exceeding 2,000 feet above sea-level, and seldom above 1,500 feet. The fact of these trees being 
stunted may be accounted for by their being in a climate too cold for them; but whether they are the 
remnants of a former luxuriant growth in this locality, or simply a few stragglers outside their regular 
limit, are questions which cannot be answered without considerable investigation. It is fully 25 miles 
down the river from O’Connell before any other trees of Bull Oak are found, though possibly others may 
have existed before the country was cleared.—( Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1901, p. 319.) 
Other New South Wales localities, by Mr. Cambage, will be found in two 
papers “On the Botany of the Interior of New South Wales,” in the Proceedings 
for 1902, Yol. xxvii.
