or two leaf-like bracts. As at the end of the stem, however, the tran-

774. Eucalyptus Consideniana Maiden, A critical Rev. Gen. Eucal., X 
(1908), p. 312, pl. 46, 1—9. — A tree of medium height. — Juvenile 
leaves: Narrow-lanceolate, petiolate, soon becoming alternate. A com- 
mon size is a length of 3 inches with a width of !/, inch. I have 
them, however, both shorter and broader. They are narrower than 
those of E. Sieberiana F. v. M., or E. piperita Sm. Of a rather strong 
peppermint odour, and often of a silvery appearance. The young 
branchlets and seedling stems angular. — Mature leaves: Commonly 
oblique and falcate, broadly lanceolate. It have them up to 9 inches 
in length, and nearly 2 inches in greatest width; they are rather thick 
in texture. Colour equally green on both sides, dull or shiny, blue-green 
or a bright sap-green. Veins strongly marked, spreading from the base, 
the intramarginal vein at a considerable distance from the edge, often 
looped (brachydodromous). „Leaves hang straight down“ (Cambage). 
— Buds: Usually clavate and sometimes with pointed opercula. 
— Flowers: Anthers uniform. — Fruits: Usually pyriform in shape, 
often nearly conical, rather more than !/, inch in diameter. The valves 
often well sunk below the rim, but the points of the valves occasionally 
protruding. Sometimes the rim is slightly domed and the valves rather 
more exserted. The rim broad, smooth, well-defined, and usually red in 
colour. — A medium sized tree with grey tough bark to the tips of the 
branches, said bark being of that sub-fibrous character well known in 
Australia as ,peppermint“, very like that of E. piperita, but very different 
from that of E. Sieberiana, — Timber: Wood pale-coloured, with kino 
rings, remarkably like that of the common Sydney Peppermint (E. pipe- 
rita Sm.). „Soft and ringy; not nearly so good as Mountain Ash, E. 
Sieberiana^ (Boorman). — In coastal and coast-range districts of New 
South Wales, and Gippsland, Victoria, extending in the former State, 
as far as is known at present, from the Clyde River in the south, across 
the country to near Goulburn, thence viá Burragorang to the Blue 
Mountains (Wolgan), and the Penang Mountain near Gosford. Doubtless 
the species will be found in localities intermediate between the Clyde 
River and Gippsland. — Am jnächsten verwandt mit Euc. piperita Sm.
