518 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
“* Bucalyptographia,” have been mislaid during changes consequent 
on the decease of the Government Botanist, and cannot now be 
found. 
The consideration of the evidence has led me to the conclusion 
that the typical Lwealyptus pulverulenta is not found in Victoria, 
but only the variety with opposed, elongated lanceolar leaves in 
the aged trees. For this I propose the name as a variety, of 
* Janceolata.” 
It seems to me preferable to give a pretty full definition of the 
Eucalyptus pulverulenta, variety lanceolata, than merely to 
enumerate the characters which differentiate it. 
It occurs between the Pilot-range and Beechworth (F.v.M.), 
near the Ovens River (C. Falk), and in the Ovens district (D. Ingle). 
In Gippsland I have observed it near Buchan, at Providence 
Ponds (between the Avon and Mitchell Rivers), near Ostler’s 
Creek, on the Walhalla Road, between Darlimurla and Mirboo 
North, at Monkey Creek between Sale and Port Albert, and at 
Moe. 
It grows as a small tree, or a tree rising to the height of 40 feet 
to 50 feet. The bole is usually short, and in the taller forms the 
limbs are not infrequently somewhat thick as compared to the 
trunk, and are curved, twisted, or angular. The lower branches 
frequently droop, especially in the taller forms. 
Bark outwardly grey, within reddish brown, shortly fibrous and 
brittle, resembling in some degree in outward appearance the 
bark of Zucalyptus macrorrhyncha, 
The inner bark has a smell which while eucalyptine has been 
likened by some to a terebinthine odour. 
The outer bark peels from the smaller boughs, leaving them 
smooth and brown in colour. 
Seedlings have opposed sessile leaves, which are almost circular 
in the lower pairs, but ovate to pointed ovate in the higher. 
The leaves and, indeed, the young plants are characterised by 
an ashy-grey mealy bloom, with more or less of an underlying dull 
green tint showing through. I have observed the stem to be red- 
dish and although warty to be smooth. 
Young saplings of 4 feet or 5 feet in height have opposed sessile, 
rounded, cordate to ovate, and also ovate-pointed leaves. 
On the upper shoots of somewhat taller saplings the leaves become 
broadly ovate-lanceolar, 3 to 4 in. long by half that in width. 
Such leaves, indeed the leaves of saplings generally, are less mealy 
than the young plants, excepting the new shoots, or at time of 
flowering, and are of a dull green, with at the same time a distinct 
ash-grey tinge.
