202 NOTES ON THE EUCALYPTS OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. 



Bark smooth, very long ribbons. 



Timber pale-coloured. 



Affinities. — The surrounding species are E. stricta, Sieb., E, 

 Sieberiana, F.v.M., E. Moorei, Maiden and Cambage, and E. 

 Gitnnii, Hook, f., var. maculosa, Maiden {E. maculosa, R. T. 

 Baker). It has already been pointed out that the foliage 

 resembles that of E. striata. The buds exhibit slight resem- 

 blances at least to E. stricta and to E. Gunnii, var. maculosa, 

 particularly to the former, but the affinity of the fruits is not at 

 present obvious, though they are suggestive of some forms of 

 both E. capitellata and E. eugenioides, to which trees our plant 

 has otherwise not the slightest resemblance; and it may turn out 

 to be a good species.
