lanceolate. E. nova-anglica was described on New England 

 specimens, but I find that there are identical forms in Victoria, 

 and perhaps it would be well to recognise Howitt's variety-name 

 lanceolata for those forms that depart most from the type. At 

 the same time its use may be inconvenient, since the lanceolar 

 leaves are found also on the type. 



In my opinion, therefore, the name E. Stuartiana should be 

 abandoned for the " Apple or Peppermint " of Victoria and 

 retained for the " Apple or But But " of Victoria, which is the 

 equivalent of the " Apple or White Peppermint " of New South 

 Wales. A separate paper on E. Stuartiana, F.v.M., as I under- 

 stand it, will make my meaning clear.

I doubt that E. pulvigera, A. Cunn., is a synon3^m of E. pul- 

 verulenta, Sims, (although so stated in B.Fl. iii. 224) for reasons 

 which will be given presently. I will again refer to the matter 

 when I deal separately with E. cordata, Labill. 



E. cordata, Lodd., Bot. Cab., t. 328. — There is a general 

 account but no proper description of this plant, which would be 

 ignored except for the figure. 



The plant is referred to in Link's Enumeratio, p. 31, in the 

 following words — " E. cordata, Lodclig., Bot. Cab. Hab. in Aus- 

 tralia. Eucalypti species rarissime in hybernaculis florent, et in 

 foliis simillim£e sunt, hinc difficile diagnoscuntur dubias itaque
