306 ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS, 



short, merging into a pedicel 3-4 lines long; operculum hemi- 

 spherical, obtuse. Ovary flat-topped. Anthers kidney-shaped; 

 stamens all fertile. 



Fruit pyriform, about 4 lines long and 3 broad, rim thick, 

 truncate or countersunk. 



Hab.— Delegate Mountain, N.S.W. (W. Bauerlen). 



Timber. — -Pale-coloured, very fissile; used for general indoor 

 purposes in the above locality. 



Oil. — Leaves obtained from Delegate Mountain, New South 

 Wales. 16th February, 1899. Average yield of oil for three 

 distillations = 1-76 per cent. The crude oil is a light lemon 

 colour, and is but little coloured, resembling in this and other 

 respects the oil of E. dives, E. radiata, &c. It consists largely of 

 lasvophellandrene, contains no eucalyptol, and eudesmol could not 

 be detected. Eighty per cent, of the oil distilled between 172° 

 and 183° C. (corrected), less than 2 per cent, distilling below 

 172° C. 



Specific gravity of crude oil at 15 D C. = O8602. 



Specific gravity fraction 172-183° C. at 15° C. =08513. 



Specific rotation crude oil = [a] jy — 68-12°. 



Specific rotation fraction 172-183° C. = [a] j) — 75 - 76 c . 



Kino. — The kino is allied to all those kinos belonging to the 

 group Renantherse, and differs in no respect from the kino of 

 E. amygdalina, E. Sieberiana, &c. 



It is difficult from herbarium specimens to differentiate this 

 species from E. Sieberiana, F.v.M , and E. obliqua, L'Her. The 

 leaves are identical with those of E. Icevopinea, R.T.B.; but in 

 the fruits and in its economic and chemical products it is quite 

 distinct from that species. The buds are very similar to those of 

 E. Sieberiana, F.v.M., but the timber, bark and oil show it not 

 to be that species; and the same may be said of E. obliqua. 



In botanical sequence it is placed between E. Sieberiana and 

 E. obliqua. The quite smooth limbs and partially smooth trunk,
