Eucalyptus torquata Luehmann. 



Leaves petiolate, lanceolate, slightly oblique at the base, about 

 4 inches long, 1 /« to 2 /s inch broad, coriaceous, the lateral veins oblique, 

 but hardly visible except under a lens, of a dull greyish-green colour 

 on both sides. Peduncles axillary or lateral, elender, nearly 1 inch long, 

 bearing an umbel of about 7 flowers. Pedicels as long as the peduncle, 

 slender, mostly somewhat quadrangular. Calyx about 4 lines long, the 

 base abruptly dilated into a ring with 7 to 10 prominent vertical ridges. 

 the upper portion turbinate or nearly cylindrical, slightly streaked, the 

 rim narrow. Operculum with a basal protuberance similar to that of the 

 calyx, the upper part forming a narrow cone fully 3 lines long. Stamens 

 all fertile, 4 to 6 lines long, the filaments of a reddish-orange colour; 

 anthers rather large, truncate, and broader on top than at the base. 

 opening by longitudinal parallel slits. Ovulary 5-celled. Fruit not seen. 



Western Australia, in the neighbourhood of Coolgardie; W. A. Mac- 

 pher s on. 



Although only a single specimen of this species is available 1 have 

 ventured to submit a description of it on account of the most Singular 

 dilatation of the calyx. It seems to have the greatest affinity to 

 JE. incrassata, especially as regards the anthers. It also bears some 

 resemblance to E. decurva , but that species has very small nearly 

 globular anthers.

Eucalyptus corrugata Luehmann. 



A tree attaining about 30 ft. in height, with a smooth ashy-grey bark. 

 Leaves on rather long petioles, mostly narrow-lanceolar, slightly falcate, 

 narrowed at the base, acuminate, 3 in. to 4 in. long, x /s in. to rarely 

 2 /3 in. broad, rather thick, dark green and very shining on both sides, 

 black-dotted, the lateral veins rather numerous and spreading, but hardty 

 visible without a lens, the marginal vein close to the edge. Peduncles 

 axillary or lateral, nearly terete, about half an inch long, bearing an 

 umbel of 3 to 5 shortly pedicellate flowers. Calyx-tube hemispherical, 

 with 6 to 8 very prominent ridges, about 1 J2 in. across, brownish, shining. 

 Operculum hemispherical, with ridges similar to those of the calyx. 

 Stamens mostly inflected in bud ; anthers oblong, opening by parallel 

 longitudinal slits. Fruit hemispherical, not much larger than the 

 flowering calyx, mostly 4-celled, nearly flat-topped, the valves shortly 

 protruding. 



Golden Valley, in the interior of Western Australia, W. A. Sayer. 



This species is evidently allied to E. incrassata, but none of the forms 

 of that species have such high ridges nor the same hemispheric shape of 

 the calyx and operculum. E. pachyphylla, which has also prominent ribs, 

 can be easily distinguished by the broarder dull-coloured leaves, as well 

 as other characters.
