576 ON EUCALYPTUS GUNNII, HOOK. F., 



1 have, however, (1900) seen a specimen of £. ovafa, LabilL, 

 in Herb. Kew. It has ovate and sometimes retuse leaves, and 

 the fruits are conical. It is one of the innumerable forms between 

 var. acervula and var. ovata (E, camphora, R. T. Baker) which con- 

 nect the whole with E. Gunnii. 



2. E. androsemcejolia, Hoffmg., Verz. Pfl. Nachtr. ii. 113. 



" E. foliis ovatis ovatove-oblongis obtusiusculis subapiculatis 

 glaucescentibus subtus glaucis, inferioribus oppositis subcordatis, 

 superioribus petiolatis alternis. Hab. in AustraL 



" Folia, hucusque non obliqua, similia magnis quibusdam et 

 latis Hypericorum, ita ut E. hypericifoliami putassem, nisi men- 

 sura, 2'-2' 6" Ig. ut summum 1' 6" It. ab ea in Link. Enum. data, 

 nirais diferret. An forte E. ovata, Lab. (Steud.)." 



I have not seen this species. Bentham says it is very doubtful, 

 De Candolle (Prod. iii. 218) says that it is a synonym of E. ovata, 

 Labill. 



3. E. mticronata, Link, Enum. Hort. Berol. ii. 30, is described 

 as follows from leaf only : — 



" 220. E. mucronata. Fol. pet. ^" longo, lamina- lanceolata 

 acumine brevem mucronem referente subundulata subtus nervis 

 parallelis, utrinque nerva marginali, 3-4' longa 1-2' lata basi sub- 

 ovata variae magnitudinis. Hab. in Australia. Non floruit." 

 Bentham says this is very doubtful. De Candolle (Prod. iii. 218) 

 giA'es it as a synonym of E. ovata, Labill.
