1. Eucalyptus Seeana Maiden, l. c., p. 469. 
Syn.: Presumably E. tereticornis Sm. var. linearis Baker et Smith, 
Research on the Eucalypts*, p. 74. 
A smooth-barked tree of medium size, with blotches on the bark, 
most closely resembling that of E. tereticornis; sometimes with a grey 
smoothish bark reminding one of that of E. punctata and E. propinqua. 
Juvenile leaves petiolate, narrow-linear and falcate, say 4 inches 
long and ?/ inch wide, with numerous prominent transverse veins, 
Mature leaves with long slender petioles, the leaves attaining a length 
of 9 inches and more, with an average width of, say, °/; inch; texture 
rather thin, equally dull on both sides, with numerous minute transverse 
veins; the intramarginal vein distinct and somewhat removed from the edge 
of the leaf. The foliage slender, graceful and drooping. Buds narrow, 
the operculum long and tapering, of the tereticornis type. The inflores- 
cenee usually up to seven in the head in the axils of the leaves, the 
peduncle about ?/, inch long and the pedicels about !/, inch in length. 
Fruit. — The peduncle and pedicel of the fruit are but slightly an- 
gular. Fruit small, nearly hemispherical, its diameter about 3/,, inch; 
the rim well defined, forming a broadish band with the top of the 
rim truncate and the valves (three or four in the specimens seen) well 
exserted. 
The narrowness of the young foliage is an obvious character, and 
attracts the attention of the non-botanist. This narrowness sharply 
separates it from Æ. tereticornis its closest ally, which has broad juvenile 
leaves. As regards E. propinqua Deane and Maiden, its superfical resem- 
blance to E. Seeana is undoubted, but the buds sharply differentiate the 
two species, to say nothing of other differences. 
Mr. J. L. Boorman and I found it a few miles from Grafton on the 
Glen Innes Road, and also on the Coramba Road. Mr. District Forester
