species, of which 1 has been suppressed, leaving 11; 
Miieller recognised 14 species, of which 2 have been sup- 
pressed, leaving 12; and in the present paper I submit that 
the Tasmanian Eucalyptus flora contains 16 species, includ- 
ing 3 (viz., linearis, virgata (?), Maident) which are in no 
former list. 
EL. hemastoma, Sm., has not been proved to exist in 
Tasmania so far. 
The following species have, however, at various . times, 
been looked upon as hemastoma in Tasmania :-— 
1. #. obliqua, L’Hérit. (See “Gum-topped Stringy- 
bark,” p. 366). 
2. EH. amygdala, Labill. (See p. 356). 
Some Deal Island specimens are interesting, and I 
hope we may have perfect material some day. 
Although nearer to Victoria than to Tasmania, it is a 
moot point as to whether the flora cannot be claimed by 
Tasmania. In any case, the above plant about to be. 
referred to should be looked for in islands undoubtedly 
Tasmanian, and on the mainland of Tasmania itself. Deal 
Island, Kent Group, is 50 miles S.E. of Wilson’s Pro- 
montory, and much nearer Australiathan Tasmania. (Vtct. 
Nat., vii., 121.) 
Miieller determined the Deal Island Eucalypt as #. 
amygdalina, Labill. (op. cit., 138). 
The specimen is a strict form, with rather small, stiff, 
leaves. 
Later on in the herbarium, Mueller marked these 
specimens 2. hemastoma, 8m. I am not, however, satisfied 
that this plant is not hearer to #. amygdalina, Labill. (as 
at first determined by Mueller), than to #. hemastoma. 
It presents a good deal of resemblance to R. Gunn’s No. 
808 (#. amygdalina, Labill., var. nitida, Benth.). The 
borderland between several of the Renanthere is so ill- 
defined that I hesitate to follow Mueller in his #. 
hemastoma determination, and in adding a species to the 
flora of Tasmania. It is to be hoped that these Bass’ 
Straits islands may be further explored by botanists. 
E. stellulata, Sieb., is a species one would expect to find 
.in Tasmania. It grows in bleak mountain regions, and, in 
Southern New South Wales, associated with a number of 
plants, common to Tasmania and New South Wales. 
E. alpina, Lindl., a Victorian species, frequenting a few 
mountain-tops, and allied to #. globulus, Labill., according 
to most authors, although I think its true affinity is rather 
with Z. capitellata, Sm., should be looked for in Tasmania.
