Kamerooka " No. 1 Mallee " (A. W. Howitt). " Tall, up to 

 15ft., bark smooth." Broad, shiny thick leaves, with angled buds 

 and fruits. The coarsest form of the species I have seen. 



" Kamerooka is near Bendigo, being on the fringe of the 

 country where Mallee is found, not in large tracts, but in patches" 

 (A. W. H. in litt.). 



Synonyms. 



B. calycogona, Turcz., and U. celastroides, Turcz., were omitted 

 byBentham from the "Flora Australiensis" by accident, together 

 with seventy -five other species of Myrtacese described by 

 Turczaninow (Bull. Phys. Math. Acad. Sc. St. Petersb. x. p. 321, 

 1852). 



Mueller (Eucalyptographia, also Fragm. viii. 184) simply gives 

 F. calycogona, Turcz., and E. celastroides, Turcz., as synonyms of 

 E. gracilis, F.v.M., but makes no reference in the text to them, 

 the date of publication of Turczaninow's species being presumably 

 unknown to him. 



1. E. celastroides, Turcz. 



"50. EJucalyptus celastroides (Drum. 5, n.34). E. glabra; ramis tereti- 

 bus superne subangulatis; foliis alternis lineari-Ianceolatis utrinque attenu- 

 atis abrupte et breviter acuminatis subinaequilateris, marginatis, obscure 

 trinerviis venosisque; umbellis axillaribus 3-6-floris; pedunculis angulatis 

 petiolum subaequantibus, pedicellos triple, cupulam paulo superantibus ; 

 cupula obconica 4-costata, operculum depresso-hemisphaericum muticum 

 quadruple excedente. Folia bipollicaria aut parum longiora, 3-8^ lin. lata, 

 punctis aliis opacis, interdum nigricantibus, aliis paucioribus pellucidis con- 

 spersa, petiolus fere trilinealis. Filamenta alba. Cupula fructus parum 

 aucta, prope orificium leviter constricta. Capsula inclusa, vertice plana 4- 

 locularis. Ad descriptionem E. amygdaliiw, Labill. in multis accedit, sed 

 nullam reticulationem in foliis video, folia breviora, operculum depressum 

 nee subconicum, forsan etiam operculi forma prae caeteris dignoscitur. E. 

 cneorifolia et E. stricta floribus sessilibus recedunt, E. pallens pedunculis 

 compressis et foliis 5-pollicaribus, E. obtusijlora calycibus ecostatis (Turcz. 

 in Bull. Phys. Math. Acad. Petersb. 10, 1852, p. 338). 



The type is, as Turczaninow states, No. 34 of Drummond's 5th 

 collection.
