Western Localities. —To the foot of the Blue Mountains from Sydney, it is 
rather common. It is the commonest Stringybark on the Blue Mountains, occurring 
all over the range, and at all heights. Compared with the other rather common 
Blue Mountain Stringybark (E. capitellata), the timber is redder (!). The juvenile 
foliage is narrower, and not glaucous, like that of E. capitellata. The fruits of 
E. eugenioides on the Blue Mountains are not often exsert; instances to the contrary 
are Springwood (H. Deane); Mount Wilson (Jesse Gregson), with inner bark very 
yellow. 
Jenolan Caves (W. F. Blakely). 
At Capertee (J. L. Boorman) and Mudgee (Dislrict Forester 0. Marriott) it 
is known as “White Stringybark.” 
E. eugenioides does not appear to go further west than Jenolan Caves and 
Mudgee. 
“Bastard Stringybark” (Penrith: J. L. Boorman, January, 1900). I desire 
to invite attention to an interesting form of this species. The fruits are smaller 
than is usual, and nearly globular. They are on nearly filiform pedicels of about 
two lines; the common peduncle is twice that length, and more. The bark is 
harder and denser (less stringy) than those of the normal species—more “ bark- 
bound ”; a character also noted under E. capitellata. Perhaps hybridism is 
indicated in this case. The plant is indubitably E. eugenioides, though, from 
examination of the fruits alone, it might reasonably be suj)posed to be E. hcemastoma, 
var. micrantha. 
Northern Localities .—Most of the northern specimens have the rims red and 
prominent, and the valves slightly exsert. 
“ Good timber, cut for sleepers. Yellow inner bark, between the rough and 
the inner bark; the fibrous portion very tough.” Wyee (A. Murphy). 
“ Stringybark, free splitting; bark between sap and outside, yellow.” St. 
Alban’s district, Hawkesbury River (A. Murphy). 
Wallsend (W. W. Froggatt, J. L. Boorman); Booral (A. Rudder). 
“ Stringybark, height about GO feet, diameter 18 inches, mould over shale.” 
Near Underbank, Upper Williams River (A. Rudder, G. 10). 
Pokolbin, No. 1,486 (R. H. Cambage). 
Stewart’s Brook. Rim of fruit red and pronounced (J.H.M.) ; Moggrani 
Mountain, Gloucester (J.H.M.); Upper Hastings River (J.H.M.); Macleay River 
(Forester W. Macdonald). 
Murrurundi (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). Valves slightly exsert, rim 
broadish, hemispherical, slightly depressed, with short filiform pedicels, connecting 
with the “ Bastard Stringybark ” of Penrith. 
Collaroy (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman), showing white dots and a slight 
ribbing of the fruits.
