— (1) E. bicolor, Woolls (Contrib. Flora of Australia, 232), non A. Cunn.; see also p. 7 of Part xi of the "Critical Revision of the genus Eucalyptus."
In the Woollsian Herbarium, which is my property, there is a specimen in Dr. Woolls' handwriting, bearing the following label:—
"Yellow or bastard Box, half-barked when young, nearly smooth when full-grown. Hard wood. Height, 120 feet.' Cabramatta. E. bicolor."On another occasion Dr. Woolls labelled a similar specimen from Cabramatta E. largiflorens.
There is no question as to the identity of this tree, even if his specimens did not make it quite clear. It is E. Bosistoana, F.v.M., is typical for the species, as determined by Mueller himself (Mueller first labelled this specimen E. odorata, Behr, and then E. Bosistoana), and the assumption that Woolls' determination of the tree as E. bicolor was correct has given rise to some curious mistakes. See my paper, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxvii, 519 (1902), for a full account of the matter.
(2.) E. odorata, Howitt, non Behr. See p. 58.
