MEMO. from the CURATOR to
14th March 1893
Dear Baron Mueller,
I send you materials for coming to a decision, at your leisure, in regard to the specific position of one of our Grey Gums, viz: that one which commonly goes by that name in our northern coast districts.
It has often been named coast variety of E. viminalis, but that is untenable.
It is certainly nearer to E. saligna, but it & the typical saligna (Blue or Flooded Gum) are never confused with each other by bushmen.
In order to save your time as much as possible, I have tabulated the particulars in regard to Grey Gum, E. viminalis & E. saligna, so far as they may be usefully compared.1
Yours truly,
J. H. Maiden.
Eucalyptus viminalis
Eucalyptus saligna
