Syn.: E. stellulata Sieb, var. angustifolia Benth., B. FL, III, 201. See 
also further synonomy in Maiden's Critical Revision of the Genus Euca- 
lyptus, v. 129, together with figs. 5a, 5b and 6 of Plate 25. 
An erect, rather slender shrub of up to 10 or 12 feet in height, with 
a stem diameter of 2 to 4 inches. It forms dense masses of small area, 
reminding one somewhat of a whipstick Mallee, but lacking the root 
stockiness of that form of Eucalyptus growth. Juvenile leaves narrow- 
lanceolate, glaucous blue, the plant. sometimes flowering while still in 
the opposite-leaved stage. Leaves profusely dotted with oil glands. 
Mature leaves — ,Leaves narrow, very thick and smooth, scarcely 
showing the renation“ (Benth.) Shiny on both sides; the tips of the 
leaves often hooked. Buds arranged in stellate clusters with longish 
sharply pointed opercula. Opercula sometimes red in fresh specimens. 
Flowers in dense heads of four or fire to ten and even more. Anthers 
small and reniform. Borne in profusion in the axils of the leaves. 
Fruits in dense heads, say half, an inch in diameter. The common 
peduncle absent or very short; the pedicels always wanting. The indi- 
vidual fruits of the size of a peppereon, smooth (often dotted when fresh), 
rim narrow, and valves always sunk, Bark smooth, with the outer bark 
peeling off in ribbons. Timber pale, nearly white.

Affinities. — (1) Its affinity with E stellulata Sieb., is very close, 
and it has been long looked upon as a variety of that species. The 
forms are, however, sharply separated by the broad juvenile foliage of 
E. stellulata. The mature foliage of E stellulata is also, as a rule, much 
broader, while E. stellulata attains the dignity of a medium-sized tree. 
(2.) Its affinity to the narrow-leaved form of E. stricta Sieb., has 
already been indicuted by Bentham (B. FI. III, 201), and, when mature 
leaves are alone available, it is very difficult and perhaps ordinarily im-
