the section Micranthere, Mueller places it under his 
Renanthere characterized by the anthers opening upwards 
by divergent slits. 
The present is the eighth species of the genus figured 
in the Borantcat Magazine, the others being H. amygdalina, 
Lab., t. 3260; H. coccifera, Hook. f., t. 4637; EH. cornuta, 
Lab., t. 6140; H. macrocarpa, Hook., t. 4383; H. Preis- 
siana, Schau., t. 4266; H. pulverulenta, Sims, t. 2087; and 
E. splachnicarpa, Hook., t. 4036. Ofthese H. splachnicarpa 
is referable to H. calophylla, Br. 
Eucalyptus stricta is a not uncommon shrub or small 
tree in New South Wales, and I gathered it myself on the 
road from Sydney to Botany Bay in 1841. It occurs from 
near the coast to an elevation of 4000 feet on the Blue 
Mountains, occasionally attaining a height of fifty feet in 
the lower levels, and a diameter of trunk of ten inches; 
more often, however, it forms a bush or small tree three 
to twenty feet in height.. The Colonial names for it, 
according to Bentham, are Muzzle-wood and Green-back 
Gum-tree, but Von Mueller confines the name of Muzzle- 
wood to H. stellulata. The wood makes a good fuel, and 
the tree yields a good deal of kino, an astringent resin 
which abounds in other species. The specimen here 
figured is from a plant about thirty feet high in the Tem- 
perate House at Kew, raised from seed probably sent by 
that indefatigable correspondent of the Gardens, Baron 
von Mueller.—J. D. H.
