800 EUCALYPTS OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



the designation of linear-lanceolate, which is, we believe, a very 

 unusual circumstance in this species. 



Fruits. — In shape not dissimilar to those of the normal species, 

 but rather smaller in size. 



Each individual fruit about J^ of an inch in diameter ; the 

 whole packed into a head (consisting usually of 7 to 9 fruits) 

 about half an inch in diameter. For figure of another head- 

 fruited form of E. eugenioides, see No. 5, PI. lx. 1896. 



Height. — 5 or 6 feet, forming a dense scrubby growth. 



Range. — Although we have only found it at King's Tableland, 

 Wentworth Falls, we think it very likely that further search will 

 reveal its presence in other exposed situations on the Blue 

 Mountains. 



With reference to the normal species, Mr. H. A. Lowe, a well- 

 informed correspondent, writes under date 10th Februaiy, 1898 : 

 " I have a post and rail fence of this timber which has been 

 erected for 52 years, and the greater part of the fence is still in 

 first-rate order."
