•222 ON EUCALYPTUS CALYCOGOXA, TURCZ., 



This is a glaucous form with fruits slightly urceolate, and 



slightly rimmed. I think it is a well marked variety of E. 



calycogonch^ Turcz., and therefore propose the name of var. celas- 



tr aides for it. 



Range. 



It appears to be confined to Western Australia. Following 

 are some specimens in the National Herbarium of New South 

 Wales :— Elder Exploring Expedition. Camp. 63, W. A., 27.9.91, 

 and 40 miles N.W. of Eraser's Range (R. Helms; 4/xi/91). These 

 specimens were labelled E. fmcunda by Prof. Tate. They have 

 leaves rather broader than the Coolgardie specimens.

Coolgardie (W. L. Webster). 



2. E. gracilis, F.v.M. : Fruticose; leaves coriaceous, alternate, shining, 

 narrow-lanceolate, hooked-acuminate, a little oblique, thinly veined, dotted; 

 umbels axillary and terminal pedunculate: flowers small, short-stalked; lid 

 blunt, depressed-hemispherical; tube of the calyx obconical, bell-shaped, a 

 little broader and three times longer than the lid; fruit nearly hemispherical; 

 not contracted at the top; valves of the capsule almost enclosed. 



In the desert on the Murray River, where it forms the Mallee Scrub 

 together with E. dumosa, santalij'olia and other species. (Trans. Vict. Inst, 

 i. 35, 1855.) 



Miquel's description is in the following words.: —

 gracilis, ramulis teretibus apice angulatis lanceolato linearibus vulgo subfal- 

 catis in acumen vel apiculum uncinatum excurrentibus glabris coriaceis 

 crebro pellucido-punctatis, umbellis axillaribus et lateralibus 3-6 floris, calycis 

 tubo turbinato operculum depresso-hemisphaericum apiculatum triplo ex- 

 cedente. 



Ab E. amygdalina proxime afiine differt foliis non venosis, ab E. ambigaa 

 operculo vix apiculato, petiolis longioribus, umbellis plerumque 5-fioris ab 

 E. cneorifolia floribus breviter pedicellatis (Miiller).
