Eucalyptus Kruseana. Branchlets terete ; leaves small, opposite, sessile, 

 mostly cordate-orbicular, some verging into a renate form, on botli sides 

 as well as the branchlets, peduncles, pedicels and calyces whitish-grey, 

 copiously glandular-dotted, the venules faint, the peripheric close to t,h© 

 edge of the leaves; peduncles compressed, axillary, 3 — 4 flowered, about 

 half as long as the leaves ; pedicels variously shorter than the whole 

 calyx, sometimes quite abbreviated ; flowers small ; tube of the calyx afc 

 first almost hemiellipsoid ; operculum semiovate-conical, slightly pointed, 

 about as long as the calyx-tube ; filaments yellowish-white, inflected before 

 expansion ; anthers soniewhat longer than broad, opening by longitudinal 

 slits ; Stigma hardly broader than the style ; fruit-bearing calyx globular- 

 semiovate, devoit of angulation, contracted at the summit, the rim narrow; 

 valvules enclosed, but nearly reaching the orifice, usually four. J. D. 

 Batt, Esq., near Fraser's ßange. Height of the plant unrecorded, but 

 probably of shrubby stature. Leaves firm, of ^ja — l^/s inch measurement. 

 Calyces, inclusive of the lid, hardly above '/^ inch long. Fruit-calix as 

 broad as long, measuring fully Vs inch. Matured seeds as yet unavailable. 

 Related to Eucalyptus gamophylla, E. orbifolia and E. Perriniana. The 

 latter however is from cold mountain-regions of Tasmania, and its leaves, 

 free from each other only in the early stage of the young plauts. become 

 connate when the trees attain some height, they then resemble those of 

 E. Eisdoni (probably the E. erfoliata of Desfontaines), although the 

 species belongs to the series of Parallel-antherae. E. gamophylla is 

 likewise separated from the present new species by the concrescently 

 paired leaves ; moreover its pedicels are almost obliterated, the fruit- 

 bearing calyces are much longer than broad, bearing the valvules at a 

 higher Insertion. The differences of E. orbifolia are obvious, consisting 

 in scattered stalked leaves, larger flowers, semiglobular calyx-tube, pro- 

 portiouately longer operculum and exserted fruit valvules. 



This Eucalyptus is ofl'ered as a phytologic tribute to Mr. John 

 Kruse, a leader here iu the chemical and pharmaceutic profession on 

 the further raising of which he has during 40 years exercised amongst 

 US a vast influence; but this offering is made at a time of great sadness, 

 when our genial friend is prostrated hopelessly on bis sickbed, yet when 

 also bis days are still brightened by the filial attachment of bis illustrious 

 son, who has already youthfully won his laureis on the fields of the 

 sublimest of all arts, he having advanced to a position of renown, which 

 but few mortals are occupying within the ränge of musical science.
