BY J. II. MAIDEN. 471 



I name this graceful and useful species in honour of Sir John 

 See, K.C.M.G., late Premier and Chief Secretary of New South 

 Wales, long my respected official superior, in whose electorate 

 (Grafton) I first found it, and in which it is not rare. This tree 

 will also perpetuate the memory of the late Lady See, who always 

 evinced a keen interest in the vegetation of the State in which 

 she was born. 



2. Eucalyptus Deanei, sp.nov. 



Syn. E. saligna, Sm., var. pai'vifiora, Deane k Maiden, these 

 Proceedings, xxv., 464, 628. See also my * Forest Flora of New 

 South Wales,' Part iv., pp. 84-5 (July, 1903). 



I am of opinion that this form should be removed from E. 

 saligna (to which it possesses undoubted affinity), primarily on 

 the ground of its broad sucker leaves. For this reason, in part, 

 E. dives, E. melanophloia, and E. Camhagei are rightly considered 

 distinct from E. amygdalina, E. crehra, and E. goniocalyx 

 respectively. In Vol. xxv. of these Proceedings (PL xlii., figs. 1-4), 

 a mature leaf, half-grown leaf, sucker-leaf and fruits have been 

 figured; and at pp. 464-5, under the name of E. saligna var. 

 parviflora, this tree has been botanically described. 



" Its foliage is magnificent, especially along the Glen Innes- 

 Grafton Road (19-24-mile pegs), appearing like huge camphor 

 laurels. Its habit is spreading, as opposed to the upright habit 

 of Blue Gum, E. saligna " (E. C. Andrews). 



It may be added that the fruit is uniformly smaller and more 

 urceolate than that of E. saligna. Its timber is red, resembling 

 that of E. saligna, but the differences have not yet been worked 

 out. " Its butt is much like that of many ordinary Forest Red 

 Gums of New England {E. tereticornis) with flaky outer bark " 

 (E. C. Andrews). 



In addition to the localities quoted in the ' Forest Flora ' 

 under E. saligna var. parvijlora, I have collected it at Wallera- 

 wang, N.S.W. " As far as New England is concerned, where it 

 is usually known as Brown Gum, it chooses especially the moist 

 eastern edge of the plateau proper, on granite soil. Specific 

 localities are : — Wilson's Downfall, UnderclifFe; Great Dividing
