1023. Eucalyptus oleosa F. v. M, var. glauca J. H. Maiden in Journ, 

 W. Austr. Nat. Hist. See, III (1911), p. 171. — Western Australia: 

 „Morrel" (the glaucous or Goldflelds form); called also „BIackbutt" on the 

 eastern goldflelds. — Seventy miles north of Kalgoorlie 1 took notes on 

 the spot of a tree as follows. — A medium-sized tree, say I foot in 

 diameter, a White Gum with blotched bark and more or less short flaky 

 ribbons on the trunk, with a little of the roughness at the butt. — Co- 

 lour of timber rich reddish brown and very tough. A felled Morrel 

 shows long tough splinters. — Tips of valves connected as in E. oleosa. 



It is usually glaucous (typical var. longicornis is always glabrous). 

 The buds and fruits are coarser than those of var. longicornis, the oper- 

 culum is more or less rostrate (particularly in dried specimens), i, e., it 

 does not taper gradually as in the case of var. longicornis. While all 

 the forms of E. oleosa run into each other, I am of opinion that the 

 arboreal glaucous goldflelds form merits a varietal name as much as 

 var, longicornis does, and therefore I have proposed the name var. 

 ghuca for it. 



1024. Eucalyptus oleosa P. v. M. var. Flocktoni J. H. Maiden, 1. c, 

 p. 172, — An erect many-stemmed shrub of 6—8 feet. Branchlets 

 somewhat angular. Juvenile leaves unknown. — Mature leaves coria- 

 ceous, thick, equally green on both sides, dull to slightly glossy, petio- 

 late, lanceolate to broadly lanceolate (common dimensions are, petiole 

 1—2 cm, leaf 10 cm, breadth 2—3 cm). — Flowers pendulous, up to 7 

 in the umbel, with a common peduncle of 1 cm and pedicels of half 

 that length, calyx subcylindrical (about 4 cm long), operculum tapering, 

 constricted when dry, of slightly greater diameter than the calyx at the 

 line of junction (about 6 cm long). Anthers similar generally to those
