WOODS AND FORESTS.
South Australia.1
Memorandum
From CONSERVATOR OF FORESTS, forest board office, adelaide. |
To Baron F. Von Mueller., K.C.M.G. Government Botanist Melbourne. |
My dear Sir Ferdinand,
I find the Sugar Gum (Euc. Corynocalyx) leaves assume a very long and narrow form in the northern portion of the Flinders Range.2 The enclosed is taken from a tree N. E. of Port Augusta.3 Might we take this to be a distinct variety or merely a chance growth?
I send you my Annual Report 80-81.4 in which you will observe that I acknowledge your valuable information re our Eucalypti.
Yours very truly
J. E. Brown
P.S.
Where is "Marble Range" where you first observed E. Corynocalyx?5
J.E.B.
Eucalyptus Corynocalyx
