fivestreaked; lobes trausparent, in their lower part aliuost deltoid, thence 

 gradually and conspicuously setaceous-capillulary ; corolla glabrous, about 

 as long as the calyx, its lobes rather longer than the tube, semielliptic, 

 upwards somewhat lilac-eoloured, but soon pallescent ; anthers about thrice 

 longer than broad, their eells towards the base secedent; styles capillulary, 

 longitudinally stigmatose ; ovulary nearly conical-ellipsoid, glabrous.

This species is descriptively established from a flower-spike solely — 

 an unusual procedure — but admissible in the present instance, when 

 the generic position of the plant can be clearly made out, and when the 

 floral characteristics show great specific diversity from those of the two 

 only other congeners hitherto known as indigenous to Australia, thus the 

 calyx-lobes reminding of those of a Calycothrix.

Eucalyptus Bosistoana. 



Finally tall; branchlets slender, at first angular; leaves on rather 

 short petioles, almost chartaceous, mostly narrovv or elongate-lanceolar, 

 somewhat falcate, very copiously dotted vvith translucent oil glandules, 

 generally duU-green on both sides, their lateral venules distant, mucb 

 divergent, the peripheric venule distinctly distant from the edge of the 

 leaf, all faint ; leaves of young seedlings roundish or ovate, scattered, 

 stalked; umbels few-flowered, either axillar-solitary or racemosely arranged; 

 peduncles nearly as long as the umbels or oftener variously shorter, 

 slightly or sometimes broadly compressed; pedicels usually much shorter, 

 rather thick and angular; tube of the calyx turbinate-semiovate, slightly 

 angular ; lid fuUy as long as the tube, semiovate-hemispheric, often 

 distinctly pointed ; stamens all fertile, the inner filaraents abruptly inflected 

 before expansion ; anthers very small, cordate or ovate-roundish, opening 

 by longitudinal slits; style short; stigma somewhat dilated; fruit com- 

 paratively small, nearly semiovate, its rim narrow, its valves 5 — 6 or 

 rarely 4, deltoid, totally enclosed, but sometimes reaching to the rim ; 

 sterile seeds very numerous, narrow or short; fertile seeds few, ovate, 

 compressed, slightly pointed. 



In swampy localities at Cabramatta an in some other places of the 

 County of Cumberland and also in the County of Camden (Rev. Dr. W o o 11 s) ; 

 near Mount Dromedary (Miss Bäte); near Twofold Bay (L, Morton); 

 near the Genoa (Barnard); on the summit of the Tantowango-Mountains 

 and also near the Mitchell-River (Howitt); between the Tambo and 

 Nicholson Rivers (Schlipalius); near the Strezlecki-Ranges (Olsen) 

 The „Wul-Wul" of the aborigines of the County of Dampier, the „Darjan" 

 of the aborigines of Gippsland. Called locally by the colonists of New 

 South Wales „Ironbark-Boxtree", and in some places also „Grey Boxtree", 

 which appellations indicate the natura of the wood and bark, though the 

 latter may largely be shedding. 



As richly oil-yielding and also as exuding much kino, this tree is 

 especially appropriate to connect therewith the name of Joseph Bosisto, 

 Esq., C.M.G., who investigated many of the products of the Eucalypti, 

 and gave them industrial and commercial dimensions. 



This species in its systematic afSnities is variously connected with 

 E. odorata, E. oiderophloia, E. hemiphlola and E. drepanophylla. A fuller 

 account of this valuable tree will early be given.
