5. ON EUCALYPTUS CALYCOGONA, Turcz. 



By J. H. Maiden. 



The description of this species is as follows. I am not aware 

 that it has previously been seen in Australia, and I am indebted 

 to Kew for a copy of it : — 



" 49. Eacah/ptus calycogona (Dri>m. 5, n.l84). E. glabra; ramis teretibus; 

 foliis alternis lineari-lanceolatis utrinque attenuatis acuminato-mucronatis : 

 mucrone interdum uncinato, marginatis pellucido-punctatis; umbellis later- 

 alibus 3-6-floris; pedunculis angulatis petiolo paulo brevioribus ; cupulis 

 obpyramidatis tetragonis, nigro-punctatis subsessilibus vel cum pedicello 

 confluentibus, pedunculo longioribus ; operculo conico laevi, cupula plus 

 quam duplo breviore. 



E. foecunchr, Schauer, cujus operculum ignotum, stirps nostra affinis est, 

 sed folia minora, pellucida et cupula angulis 4 acutis marginata. Filamenta 

 alba. Capsula 4-locularis, cupula duplo brevior. Folia bipollicaria, 2^ lin. 

 lata. (Turcz., Bull. Phys,-Math. Acad. P^tersb. 10, 1852, p. 338.) 



The type is, as Turczaninow states, No. 1S4 of Drummond's 

 5th collection.
