762 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS, I., 



The width of the juvenile foliage and the colour of timber are 

 of course variable, within certain limits, in Eucalyptus. 



E. odorata, Behr (^. calcicidfrix, F.v.M.), "Peppermint der 

 Kolonisten " of Behr. Broadish ovate juvenile leaves. Well- 

 marked {U. loxojjhleba-like) venation, intramarginal vein at a 

 considerable distance from the edge. Colour bright, often sap- 

 careen. Buds scarcely angular, but showing angularity somewhat. 

 Rim of fruit often accentuated, like that of B. leucoxylon and E. 

 melliodora. Runs imperceptibly into E. pot'osa, F.v.M., which it 

 includes. 



E. cajujmtea, F.v.M., in Miq., Ned. Kruidk. Arch. iv. 126 

 (1856). 



Type from Flinders Range, S.A. 



Rather narrow juvenile foliage; rather narrow leaves, but 

 variable in width. Angular calyces and buds. Fruits sub- 

 cylindrical or hemispherical, spreading at the mouth. More or 

 less angular, sometimes nearly sessile as regards the pedicels. 

 The filaments of the anthers often dry reddish. 



This form has sometimes purple filaments when fresh (hence 

 var. erythrandra) and the normal species has sometimes filaments 

 of that colour also. 



It appears to me identical with E. odorata, var. erythrosto7na, 

 Miq., and var. erythrandra, F.v.M.; also E. perforata, F.v.M. 



In the original description of E. jierforaUi we have " Cortex 

 ramorum juniorum interdum nigrescit," hence the "Black 

 Mallee" of Adelaide (referred to E. calcicnltrix in my paper 

 through inadvertence) and other localities. 



E. odorata, " forma angusti/oUa," Miq., from Port Lincoln dis- 

 trict (Dombey Bay) is identical with the preceding. It requires 

 care to distinguish E. cajuputea from E. odorata. With sucker- 

 leaves it is easy enough. 



E. acacioides, A. Cunn. — This has been distributed amongst 

 many first-class herbaria labelled in Cunningham's handwriting, 

 but its identity was not established until I drew attention to it 

 in my paper on E. odorata. While most commonly a Mallee, it
