are rare. The wings of the rhachilla are in many species very 

 soluble and tawny yellow ; similar (though narrow) soluble tawny 

 wings are present in some forms of C. exaltatus itself; and it is, 

 I think, inconvenient to make two sections upon such a character. 

 Our sections of Eucyperus are so unmanageably numerous that 

 our object should be to throw two into one wherever possible.

Badix fibrosa. Culmus solitarius (interdum caespitosi), robus- 

 tior, 3-8 dm. longus, apice (saepe obtuse) trigonus. Folia plura, 

 cum culmo saepe aequilonga, 3-nervia, multistriata, in marginibus 

 minute scabra. Involucri bracteae 3-6, usque ad 3-5 dm. longae, 

 divaricata3. Umbellae radii 3-12, usque ad 1 dm. longi ; ochreae 

 usque ad 2 cm. longae, bidentatae, dente altero usque ad 1 cm. 

 longo, lineari. TTmbellulae bracteolatae ; radioli saepius brevissimi, 

 interdum 0-15 mm., saepissime 1-spicati ; spicae ipsae semper ses- 

 siles, nudae (causa autem radiolorum suppressorum spicae specie 

 3-7 digitata? bracteatae), longae 2-6 cm., latae 1 cm., undique a 

 spiculis sessilibus, antice fastigiatis, densissime obsitae. Spiculae 

 longae 5-8 mm., latae 1 mm., 16-30-florae ; gluma ima parva, non 

 setaceo-caudata. Gluroae approximatae, dense imbricatae, margi- 

 nibus in sicco non incurvis, late ovatae, minute apiculatae, com- 

 pressae, in dorso viridi-3-nerviae, in lateribus sanguineo-striatae, in 

 margine lutescentes. Antherae parvae, anguste oblongae. Stylus 

 vix cum nuce aequilongus ; rami 3, e gluma breviter exserti. Nux 

 ellipsoidea, utrinque angustata, subacuta, trigona, parva, lutea aut 

 brunnea, levis.
