DICHOTOMOUS KEY TO THE EUCALYPTUS, 
Leaves large, faleate; umbels generally enclosed in 
large bracts while in bud, £. virgata. 
(Although I believe that Baron von Mueller was correct in 
including this also as a variety in E. stricta, yet I have 
kept it distinct as the appearance of the extreme forms 
is so very different. Both seem confined to the south- 
eastern parts of New South Wales. Bentham had also 
in this case a mixture before him, viz., a few specimens 
of the genuine E. virgata, but mostly those of a large tree 
allied to E. haemastoma, afterwards described by F, v. 
Mueller as E. Sieberiana. LE. obtusiflora seems to have 
been described by De Candolle from imperfect material ; 
an original leaf and a sketch of the specimen point, per- 
haps, to E. haemastoma, but a second leaf is quite 
different. The name had better be discarded.) 
Leaves nearly straight, very shining, #. fecunda.

Fruit mostly 4-celled 
Fruit truncate-ovate, #. odorata. 
Fruit truncate-globular, #. mellivdora. 
(When in flower E. melliodora is readily distinguished by 
the outer stamens being sterile. In Mueller’s Eucalypto- 
graphia the anthers are not correctly drawn; they open 
by terminal pores.)
