376 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
Following is a form of this species, for which Mr. Rodway 
proposes the variety name “‘ elongata.” 
“Leaves long, narrow, 4-8 in. 4 — in. Operculum 
umbonate-conical, nearly as long as the calyx. Calyx 
slightly constricted below the rim. Fruit broadly ovate, 
very slightly constricted at, but not below the rim, 1 cm. 
long, 7-8 mm. broad, capsule slightly sunk. Bark smooth, 
white. 
“This approaches very closely small fruited forms of 
FE. longifolia, Link., except that the lateral veins are not 
so conspicuous, nor so regularly parallel.’ (Mr. Rodway 
in letter to me.) 
I quite agree that this is a form of urnigera, and it is 
worthy of further investigation. From the specimens I 
have seen, however, I imagine that it shows transit to Z. 
goniocalyx, F.v.M., rather. than #. longifolia, Link. 
Examination of the timber would at once settle the affinity 
as regards these two species, assuming that it has affinity to 
either. 
O.—2#. vernicosa, Hook. f. (Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 478, 
1847). 
There is a note on this species by Rodway, in Proc. R.S. 
Tas., 1898-9, p. 104. 
I have examined specimens from Mount La Perouse, in 
Herb. Barbey-Boissier, collected by Oldfield, also from 
Mount Sorell, Macquarie Harbour, in Herb. Cant., collected 
by Milligan (No. 716). 
E. Muelleri, T. B. Moore, Trans. R.S. Tas., 1886. The 
valves often do not protrude. 
We have a note by Rodway (ib. 1898-9, p. 104), who states 
that at Mount Geikie (west coast), while very similar in 
appearance to #. vernicosa, it still maintains its distinctness . 
in its crenulated leaves, with less oblique venation and 
flattened operculum. Mueller, by excluding it from the 
2nd edition of his ‘“‘ Census,’ was not satisfied as to its 
specific difference from WH. vernicosa, and the specimens 
seen by me cause me to recommend that it be further 
investigated. I recommend that its specific rank be not 
recognised until that is done: 
P.—F. Gunnu, Hook. f. 
This is a species originally described from Tasmania. 
I have written a paper “ On Hucalyptus Gunni, Hook. f.,” 
which is being published by the Linnean Society of New
