Minore, near Dubbo, perhaps the most westerly locality in this herbarium 
(J. L. Boorman). Buds less angular than the type. 
The Meadows, Dubbo district; used for fencing-posts and charcoal (Assistant 
Forester A. B. Samuels). The buds remarkably like those of E. rostrata , so much 
so, that a word of caution is necessary. This is not an unusual thing in western 
forms, but the anthers and the venation of the leaves are very different. 
Northern Localities .—But it is as we travel north, farthest away from the 
home of the type, that the aberrant forms become most plentiful. The doming of 
the rim is usually a very good guide in this species, but sometimes this character is 
not well defined, and the rim must then be interpreted with caution. E. macror- 
rhynclia runs into E. Mueller iana , the “Yellow Stringybark ” or “ Blackbutt, ” 
without any doubt. 
In New England the tendency of the'leaves is to become smaller and more 
coriaceous, and the buds to become less to more angular* than the type, the operculum 
shorter, and the fruit more pear-shaped. The rim is not sharp, and the domed 
portion is narrow. At the same time there are considerable differences in the shapes 
and sizes of the fruits in these northern forms. Following are some specimens in 
the National Herbarium : — 
Tinglia (R. H. Cambage); Howell, near Tinglia (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman) ; 
Mount Seaview (J.H.M.) ; Bluff River, near Tenterfield, also Glen Innes (H. Deane) ; 
Tent Hill, west of Deepwater (E. C. Andrews) ; Emmaville (J. L. Boorman, 
E. C. Andrews). 
Queensland. 
Stanthorpe (F. M. Bailey). 
EXPLANATION OF PLATE 102. 
A. Juvenile leaves (from Bombala, N.S.W.). ' 
B. Flowering branch (from Weddin, N.S.W.). 
c. Fruits (from Mount Esk, Bowan Park, near Cudal, N.S.W.). 
* In the more exposed situations the mutual compression causes the buds to be bluntly angular and compressed 
just like E. capitellata of the coast.
