In view of the confusion which has arisen in regard to B. Bailey ana, it 
would he desirable to re-distil leaves from absolutely authentic material. 
Timber. —I have already stated what I know of the timber, but it is not 
much. Further details concerning it are desirable. 
Habitat.— Eight-mile Plains, near Brisbane, is the type locality whence 
Bailey obtained the specimens described by Mueller in the “ Eucalyptograpliia.” 
It also occurs in New South Wales, eg., between Lawrence and Casino (W. 
Forsyth). Coming further south, and indeed this is the most southerly locility 
recorded, the late Mr. Augustus Rudder wrote to me 
I do . not remember having mentioned to you my meeting with the tree E. Baileyani (Bastard 
Ironbark) on the Clarence. I found it on some low sandy country about 20 miles south of Grafton. The 
trees I saw were from about 20 inches to 3 feet in diameter, and of me hum height—25 to 40 feet to first 
branch. Bark dark, fibrous, and transversely interlocked, and very hard and tough. Trees mostly hollow 
or ringy. Capsules urn-shaped, about | inch in diameter, rough or corrugated leaves alternate, about 
5 inches long, f inch broad, fa'cat 1 ', midrib prominent, und°rside sort of rusty red.
