1072. Eucalyptus goniantha Turcz. var. Clelandi J. H. Maiden, in Journ. ` 
W. Austr. Nat. Hist. Soc. III. (1911), p. 176. 
Following are observations made when standing before the 
trees, and valuable for that reason. — Western Australia: Lannin's 
Timber Camp, nearly 70 milés north of Kurrawang, where it is widely 
diffused. A Blackbutt. Bark hard-flaky and black in colour at butt. 
Timber cigar-brown, very hard, but not so tough as Morrel. — Goon- 
garrie, 54 miles north of Kalgoorlie. A „Blackbutt“,- 18 inches in dia- 
meter and 30 feet high, with bark fibrous-flaky at butt, the rest and all 
the branches smooth. Branchlets glaucous, as likewise the whole of the 
‚saplings. — Foliage more or less pendulous. — Juvenile leaves ovate- 
acuminate, pedunculate, equally glaucous green on both sides, venation 
not conspicuous, except the midrib, intramarginal vein distinctly removed 
from the edge. — Mature leaves narrow-lanceolate, 12 x 1,5 cm, being 
common dimensions, petiolate, dull green, coriaceous, venation not con- 
spicuous, lateral veins feather-like, intramarginal vein hardly removed 
from the edge. — Buds with long corrugated opercula, the calyx-tube 
but slightly corrugate or smooth. Diameter of the operculum sligthly 
exceeding that of the calyx-tube at the line of junction. — Fruits 
numerous, very glaucous, nearly sessile, on a common peduncle of 
about 1 cm. Subcylindrical in shape, about 5 cm long, valves slightly 
erger, 
1073. Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl. var. spathulata (Hook. f) J. H. 
Maiden, l. c., p. 188. — A dense scrubby growth 4—6 feet high (Mar- 
lock), with conoid, angular fruits, flattened foot-stalks, buds egg-in-egg- 
cup, and narrow or spathulate leaves. — The second growth foliage is 
very much more spathulate than shown by Hooker in Ic. 611. I, however 
picked from the same clump of shrubs specimens precisely similar to 
those in Hooker's figure and also some strictly spathulate 5 cm long and 
rather more than 2 broad. They are all thick and coriaceous, and the 
venation appears to be not dissimilar to that of E, occidentalis. — 
Western Australia: It is rather common near the Kalgan River 
(Porongorup to Stirling Range) I have received it also from Broome 
Hill (Dr. A. Morrison). — Mueller looks upon this as an extreme form 
of E. occidentalis, and, after careful consideration, I agree. It is another 
instance of a fruticose form of a species well known in tree-form; var. 
macrandra is another fruticose form, and examination of my suite of 
specimens of that variety has convinced me that the two varieties are 
closely related and that neither can be usefully separated from the 
normal species. I will bring the connecting links out in'due course in 
my „Critical Revision“, illustrations being helpful — Mueller did not 
name this form, but it is so different in appearance both in the field 
and herbarium from E. occidentalis that I think a name is justified. 
1074. Aster durus J.Lunell, in Amer. Midl. Nat., II (1911), p. 148. — Caulis 
de rhizomate longo, gracili, horizontali oriens, erectus, gracilis, purpurascens,
