Maiden's * Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus^'' where it 

 is placed under five different species). 

 E. lawopvi tea differs from — 



(ri) E. capitdlata in the shape of its fruits, its timVjer, bark 



and oil constituents. 

 {Ij) E. macrorhijncha^ in its fruits, timber, leaves, bark, oil 



constituents, leaf dye. 

 (c) E. jnlnlaris, in its leaves, particularly in the dried state, 



buds, leaf venation, timber and oil constituents. 

 {(1) E. Muelleriana, in timVjer, leaves, fruits, bark and dye of 



inner bark. 

 {e) E. dextropinea, in its timber (worthless), leaves, fruits, 

 buds, and oil constituents. 



E. LACTEA, R. T. Baker. A " Spotted Gum." 



Not previously recorded for this district. The "sucker" leaves 

 readily distinguish it from E. viminalis, I^abill., or E. maculosa, 

 R. T. Baker. It is common on Mount Vincent, and some typical 

 trees occur on the main Western Road, Blackheath, and main 

 Southern Road in the Bargo Brush, as well as at O'Connell, near 

 Brewongle. 



It is therefore a tree with a fair range as far as at present 

 known. The timber is of poor quality. 



E. CONICA, Deane k, Maiden. "Box." 



In my original paper this was recorded as E. hemijMoia, F.v.M., 

 from a casual field observation, but since receiving full material 

 for oil investigation I am convinced that the tree is no other than 

 that of Deane & Maiden's species. Mr. Maiden, in these Pro- 

 ceedings, synonymises it with E. Fletcheri, R. T. Baker, which he 

 also records as E. Baueriana, of Schauer, whose type specimens 

 consists of leaves and buds only. 



I fail to follow Mr. Maiden's line of argument in these Pro- 

 ceedings 1902, p. 216, concerning the phy to-chemical affinity of 

 this species with that of E. ovalifolia, R. T. Baker; nor have
