New South Wales. 
The type came from Port Jackson. Around Sydney it appears to be almost 
(perhaps entirely) confined to the sandstone. 
It occurs south, west, and north of Sydney, usually on poor rocky country. 
Northern Localities. —The most northerly locality from which we have it 
is the Round Mountain, Guy Pawkes Range, 4,250 feet above the sea, and about 50 
miles east of Armidale, on the Grafton Road. Buds as compressed as it is possible 
for them to be. Bruits large and hemispherical. It also occurs at New Apsley 
Palls, Walcha, near Swamp Oak, Walcha, and 14 miles east of Deepwater, at 
4,000 feet. 
Southern Localities. — E. capitellata, in its strictly typical form, is found 
for a considerable distance along the coast. Following are some definite localities :— 
Bowral to Wombeyan. At Hilltop, near Mittagong, there is a variety locally 
known as “ Blue-leaf Stringybark.” It is so called because the leaves, especially 
in the sunlight, are observed to have a bluish cast, and this bluish appearance 
(especially noticeable in the young leaves), is largely retained on drying for the 
herbarium. The tops of the trees can be readily noticed amongst the other foliage 
from a neighbouring eminence. 
I look upon this as one of the forms intermediate between E. eugenioides and 
E. capitellata. On account of the juvenile leaves, and of the fruits, I believe it 
to be nearer the latter than the former. The silvery or bluish cast of some 
Eucalyptus trees as they grow in the forest merits further inquiry. It is probable 
that several species present this appearance, perhaps at some seasons, and in some 
localities, more than others. I have noticed typical E. eugenioides in the Blue 
Mountains, with a “ silver top.” 
“ White Stringybark.”—Tall trees, white bark, good timber, leaves bluish 
tint, easily distinguished from “ red ” in the bush by the more robust growth. Nye’s 
Hill, Wingello, 8/99 (J. L. Boorman). The fruits are as small as those of E. 
eugenioides , but compressed like those of E. capitellata. They precisely resemble 
those of the Hilltop Blue-leaf Stringybark just referred to. The “bluish tint” 
of the leaves is also similar. Buds stellate, and strongly resembling those of 
E. eugenioides when young; coarse and angular, like those of E. capitellata , when 
more mature. 
Clyde Mountain specimens precisely resemble those from the Blue Mountains, 
to be referred to presently. 
Western Localities. —Then we turn to a form which may provisionally be 
referred to as the Blue Mountains form of the species, because it is so readily studied 
there, but it also occurs coastwards and southwards.
