torulosa) which even at times rise 100 feet, and 50 or 60 feet without a 
branch* (E. C. Andrews). 
Writing from Drake to Mr. Cambage, Mr. Andrews says: — 
„One tree we measured 20' in circumference, about 80—100' to first 
limb, and from 150—180' high (guess) Another 23’ circumference, 
170’ high (? Another we measured 25’6’’ round butt (4' above ground). 
Blackbutt-top but about 150' high then. I suppose there were from 50 to 
100 from 18’ to 20’ and 21’ in circumference“. 
Juvenile leaves rather large and soon becoming alternate, glaucous. 
The youngest foliage available to me is elliptical and about 4 inches 
long by half the width, with petioles of t/a inch. „Seedlings have erect 
habit, with fairly large leaves; pale in colour“ (R. H. Cambage). Ma- 
ture leaves broadly lanceolate, sometimes falcate, but apparently 
usually symmetrical. Dull on both sides and even glaucous, but ulti- 
mately glabrous and even shining; equally green on both sides, venation 
spreading from the base. Usually under 6 inches long and about 1 inch 
wide. Of a distinct peppermint odour. Buds clavate, the operculum 
sometimes slightly umbonate. A free flowerer, the anthers reniform. 
Fruits nearly hemispherical, about !/, inch in diameter; with a flat thick 
rim, tips of the valves flush with the mouth; peduncle thin; angular, 
1/,—3/, inch long, pedicels about !/ inch in length. Fruits abundantly 
produced, usually six to nine in the head. The fruits remind one of those 
of E haemastoma var. micrantha. Bark. — Has ,peppermint“ bark on 
the trunk and large branches; only the ultimate branches smooth. Twigs 
red (claretcoloured), often giaucous, usually round, apparently rarely an- 
gular. Timber pale-coloured, comparatively light in weight, and very 
fissile, containing a few kino veins. So similar in appearance to that 
of E. piperita Sm., that I am at present unable to indicate any diffe- 
rence. 
This species in habit, bark and timber seems to come closest to 
E. piperita. Its buds and fruits are, however, very different. It is also 
allied to E dives, but it has not the characteristic juvenile foliage of the 
latter, from which it differs in other respects. Its similarity in fruits to 
E. haemastoma has already been alluded to. 
4. Eucalyptus Consideneana Maiden, l. c., p. 475. 
A tree of medium height. Juvenile leaves narrow-lanceolate, 
petiolate, soon becoming, alternate. A common size is a length of 3 
inches with a width of !/, inch. I have them, however, bot 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 
silver appearance. The joung branchlets ‘and seedling stems angular. 
Mature leaves commonly oblique and falcate, broadly lanceolate. I 
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 sapgreen. Veins strongly 
marked, spreading from the base, the intramarginal vein at a conside-
