774 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS, L, 



E. lo7igirostris, Cordier (according to Naudin's specimens No. 

 15), and F. amhigua, Trottier, (]) (Naudin No. 4) cannot be 

 separated by me from E. ro strata. 



24. E. EXSERTA, F.v.M. 



Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 85 (1859); Maiden's Forest Flora of New 

 South Wales, Part xi.. Vol. ii., p. 11; compare also E. Morrisi^ 

 R. T. Baker, these Proceedings, 1900, 312. 



Having examined herbarium specimens, ' bark and timber of 

 these two species, I am unable to point out any essential differ- 

 ence between them. Typical specimens of E. exaerta occur in 

 Coastal Central Queensland. Typical specimens of E. Morrisi are 

 found in Western New South Wales. It is well known that the 

 Eremsean flora which in New South Wales is far to the west, 

 in Queensland approaches the coast. At the same time more 

 intermediate localities (I have some) for the two species than are 

 at present known should be ascertained, and on their collection 

 it can be decided whether the species are really identical. 



25. E. PLEUROCARPA, Schauer, in Lehmann's Plantse Preissianse, 

 i. 132 (1845); E. tetragona, F.v.M., Fragm. iv. 51 (1864). 



Bentham (B.Fl. iii. 259) and Mueller (' Eucalyptographia') 

 both accept this synonymy, and yet adopt Mueller's name as 

 against Schauer's, which has a priority of 19 years. Schauer's 

 description is in order, and his specimens (which I have seen) are 

 well authenticated. His name must be restored; and it was, 

 indeed, only suppressed through inadvertence consequent on lax 

 ideas in regard to the suppression of names. 



I take this opportunity of pointing out that this species has 

 some affinity to the large-fruited forms of E. incrasscita, Labill. 



26. Eucalyptus Banksii, sp.nov. 



A very large tree up to 100 ft., reminding one of E.goniocalyx 

 in habit. Quite glabrous or the twigs a little glaucous. It has 

 clean stems without ribbons and no rough bark. 



It is locally known as " Woolly Butt " because the bark is 

 fuzzy to cut.
