The tree is from 60-70 feet in height, rough-barked from the 

 ground to within 5 or 6 feet or less of the smallest twig ; in 

 appearance the tree reminds me of the true saligna, although the 

 bark resembles that of the ' Black Peppermint.'" 



The fruits of this tree are intermediate in size and shape, and 

 the buds intermediate in size and shape between those of U, 

 saligna and E. dcaciceformis. The suggestion as to the hybrid 

 origin appears reasonable enough. 



E. Stuartiana F.v.M. x nova-anglica Deane & Maiden (?). 



Seven miles east of Walcha (J.H.M.) we have a tree with 

 Peppermint bark all up the trunk (bark of E. nova-anglica). 

 Suckers narrower than those of E. Stuartiana. Fruits smaller 

 than, but near those of, E. Stuartiana. Foliage intermediate 

 in character between that of Stuartiana and nova-anglica. I am 

 inclined to think this is a case of hybridism.

I have received specimens of this form from Dr. Trabut, with 

 the note "feuilles tr^s longues, fruits petits. Ne reproduit des 

 graines." It seems to me a small-fruited form of E. globulus, 

 more pedicellate than usual. It may be a hybrid, but I am not 

 satisfied of this.

Some time ago I expressed the opinion that the above form is 

 identical with E. Maideni F.v.M. "^^ Having received better 

 seedlings from Mr. Rodway than I originally possessed, I incline 

 to Mr. Rodway's view that it is nearer viminalis, and I also 

 accept the view, which I resisted at the time, that it is a hybrid. 

 Some of the juvenile foliage in my possession is coarser than any 

 I have seen in E. viminalis, and I think that Mr. Rodway's
