tassels, the fronds are also of a deep glossy green, and the rhachis 
purplish. — It was met with by Mr. W. R. Kefford on his recent visit 
to the Johnstone River, Queensland, and is well worthy of garden 
culture.

10. Eucalyptus stannariensis Bailey, l. c., p. 293. — „Dead Finish.“ 
Said to form a handsome tree of about 100 ft. in height, with a dia- 
meter of 2 ft. at base of stem. Wood yellowish, considered of little 
value as a timber. Bark resembling somewhat that ot the Moreton Bay 
Ash (E. tesselaris); but it is more flaky and spongy, especially on the 
lower portion of the stem, and in this respect somewhat closely appro- 
aches in bark the Yellow Jacket of Paroo (E. ochrophloia) — „Yapunyah“ 
of the natives — the colour of the two barks being nearly alike. This 
kind of bark is said to cover the lower two-thirds of the trunk; the 
rest and branches have a yellowish naked appearance from the close 
smoothness of the bark. Branchlets slender, weeping, more or less 
purple or reddish and angular, but soon terete. Leaves 3 to 4!/, in. 
long, 5 to 8 lines broad, falcate, oblique at the base and shortly ta- 
pering to slender coloured petioles of about 6 lines, much tapering above 
the middle to almost thread-like points; veins all fine, the oblique almost 
parallel ones rather close, reticulate ones forming a rather close network, 
intramarginal nerve rather distant from the edge. Oil dots scattered, 
rather large, not numerous. Panicles lateral, angular as well as the 
branches, umbels not numerous, usually of few flowers (1, 2, or 3), 
shortly but plainly pedicellate. Operculum thin, hemispherical, shorter 
than the calyx-tube. Calyx-tube not prominently veined or glossy. 
Stamens about 3 lines long, inflected in the bud; anther ovate-oblong 
with parallel cells. Ovary somewhat flat-topped, style nearly as long as 
the stamens, stigma not broader than the summit of the style. Fruit 
semiglobose, 4 lines diameter, scarcely or not contracted at the top, rim 
broad, convex, the valves slightly projecting, 3 rarely 4-celled. Seeds 
angular. — Queensland: Stannary Hills, Dr. Thos. L. Bancroft. 
11. Astrotriche longifolia Benth. var. glabrescens Bailey, 1. c., p. 293. 
— This only differs from the normal form in being of a glabrescent 
character. — Queensland: Moreton Island, Field Naturalists’ Ex- 
cursion.
