564 ON EUCALYPTUS GUNNII, HOOK. F., 



bears the same relation to E. viminalis that E. Risdoni does to 

 E. amygdalina. Mr. Rodway has kindly favoured me with 

 specimens. 



The leaves are stem-clasping and sometimes perfoliate. We 

 have leaves of this character in the Snowy Mountains (New 

 South Wales) and from other places, showing that this is a form 

 not peculiar to Tasmania. 



Victoria — Summit of Mount Baw Baw (Mueller). Mentioned 

 in B.Fl. (iii. 247) as typical. I have seen the specimens examined 

 by Bentham. The fruits have a slightly domed rim, connecting 

 with the very domed Mt. St. Bernard form. The Mt. Baw Baw 

 specimens are intermediate in character between the type and 

 those from Mt. St. Bernard, but all are undoubtedl}" near the 

 type. 



Mt. St. Bernard (J.H.M.). A glaucous tree; fruits in threes, 

 and slightly urceolate as in the typical Gunnii; the domed valves 

 somewhat exserted, the fruits nearly truncate when not quite 

 ripe : long undulate leaves; sucker leaves nearly orbicular. The 

 same from Wentworth River (A. W. Howitt). 



The large leaves show transit to var. acerviila; the domed 

 valves of the fruit are unmistakably like var. ruhida. The fruits 

 show affinity with E. Maideai and E. gonicalyx. 



New South Wales. — All these are very near the type, in fact 

 closer to the type than any I have seen from Victoria so far. In 

 some cases with very ripe fruits there is a slight doming of the 

 rim and exsertion of the valves such as we see more intensified 

 in the Mt. St. Bernard specimens. Most of the type-specimens 

 that I have seen have the fruits nob fully ripe, and I believe that 

 if they were fully ripe some of them would show a slight exsertion 

 of the valves and even a slight doming of the rim. 



All these New South Wales specimens, except otherwise 

 indicated, are var. glaiica, Deane and Maiden (these Proceedings, 

 xxiv. 464, 1899), which I think can no longer be maintained as a 

 variety, as already hinted.
