calyx. The Grey Gum or Hickory is E. punctata, DC, as has 

 already been pointed out by Mueller in the Eucalyptographia. 

 It will be observed that both trees are placed by Bentham (B.Fl. 

 iii. 244) under a variety longifolia of E. Stuartiana, which variety 

 name should now be dropped. 



E. GONiocALYX, F.V.M., var. nitens, var.nov. 

 (Plate xli., fig. 4.) 



With small, shiny fruits, up to seven in the head as seen, 

 differing from the type both in the smallness of the fruits and in 

 their shininess, those of the normal species being lustreless. The 

 form formerly known as E. eheopihora, F.v.M , is intermediate 

 between var. nitens and the normal species. 



" Silver Top Gum," Glenbog, Candelo (J. Duff); "Silver Top," 

 Mountain Top, Nimitybelle; " Giant Gum," " Mountain Gum," 

 Delegate River (W. Bauerlen); Mt, Mueller, near Mt. Baw Baw, 

 Victoria (Jas. Melvin), specimens received from Mr. J. G. 

 Luehmann. 



In this variety many of the leaves have the sinuous margins 

 which appear to be characteristic of the species. 



E. GONIOCALYX, F.V.M. , var. fallens, Benth. (B.Fl. iii. 230.) 



" Rough-barked mountain apple," mountains on Snowy River 

 (Mueller) ; Rob Roy, Queanbeyan (H.D.) ; Tumut (W. S. 

 Campbell). 



Has a box-like grey, persistent bark, like E. hemipUoia and E. 

 Stuartiana. Is a stunted, twisted, crooked tree, not straight as 

 E. goniocalyx usually is. Leaves often very long. 



This is not to be confused with our E. Gunnii, var. glaiica, the 

 white dried herbarium specimens of which bear some resemblance 

 to it ; the latter is a smooth-barked tree. 



This glaucous form bears resemblance to the glaucous form of 

 E. goniocalyx, consisting of small, rather stunted trees on hills in 

 the Bathurst and Mudgee districts. These resemble some South 

 Australian specimens very closely, and are more glaucous than 

 the normal species, though far less so than var. jmllens.
