290 EUCALYPTS OF THE COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND, 



and wliilst he brings out fully in sectional and magnified drawings 

 the figure and opening of tlie anthers, for the purpose of 

 illustrating Mr. Bentham's artificial system, he also furnishes 

 data, partly from his own observations, and partly from those of 

 his correspondents in Australia, for grouping the species according 

 to the nature of their bark. 



Of the species now known in Australia — probably about 150 — 28 

 are indigenous in the County of Cumberland, and, according to 

 the artificial system, they may be placed in the following order : — 



(1.) Renantlierce, that is such species as have for the most part, 

 perfect anthers of a uniform shape, viz. 



1. JE. radiata, (Sieb.) 5. JE. piperita, (Sm.) 



2. JE. obtusiHora, (DC.) 6. E. pilularis, (Sm.) 



3. E. capitella, (Sm.) 7. E. acmenoides, (Schan.) 



4. E. eugenioides, (Sieb.) 



(2.) Seterostemones, such as have the outer stamens ananther- 

 ous, whilst the perfect ones are small, globular, or truncate, viz. 



1. E. sideroxylon, var. of E. 3. E. hcemastoma, (Sm.) 



leucoxylon, (F.v.M.) 4. E. Sieberiana, (F.v.M.) 



2. E.pa?iiciilata, {Sm.) 



(3.) PorantJiercB, such as have the stamens all perfect, and the 

 anthers small and globular, opening in small circular pores, viz. 



1. E. polyanthema, (SchsiU.) 3. E. hemiphloia, (F.v.M.) 



2. E. largiflorens, (F.v.M.) 



(4.) Micrantliercd, such as have the anthers very small, opening 

 in lateral slits, viz. 



1. E. siderophloia, (Benth.) 3. E. crehra, (F.v.M.) 



2. E. sp.? (F.v.M.) 



(5.) Normales, such as have the stamens all perfect, the anthers 

 oblong-ovate, or nearly globular, the cells perfectly distinct, 

 parallel and opening longitudinally, viz.
