DICHOTOMOUS KEY TO THE EUCALYPTUS. 
Pedicels very slender, at least three times as long as 
the calyx, HL. leptopoda. 
Pedicels short . 5 
Operculum conical or acuminate, longer than the calyx 
Operculum hemispherical, mostly blunt usually shorter 
than the calyx , 
. Flowers shortly pedicellate, E. redumea. 
Flowers sessile, 2. concolor. 
Leaf-veins fine, numerous, very divergent ... me 
Leaf-veins not numerous, very oblique 
. Stamens of expanded flow ers, straight, H. eneor ifolia. 
Stamens of expanded flowers bent “inwards about the 
middle, #. wncinata. 
(Z. micranthera is a variety of this.) 
. Peduncles conspicuously flattened near the top, 2. 
salubris. 
Peduncles nearly or quite terete 
. Leaves under 3 inches long 
Leaves mostly over 3 inches long 
. Fruit almost flat on top, 2. coccifera. 
Capsule somewhat sunk below the narrow rim, £. 
Gunni (typical.) 
. Fruit topshaped, leaves somewhat undulate, JZ. 
Gunnin, var. 
(I doubt whether Baron Von Mueller was correct in includ- 
ing this tree in /. Gunniias a variety in his Eucalypto- 
graphia, where the main figure represents it. Bentham’s 
description of #. Stuartiana refers partly to this. Perhaps 
it will be necessary to distinguish it as a separate species, 
and thename of #. undulata would not be appropriate.) 
Fruit ovate or globose, truncate 
. Rim of fruit narrow, qhe valves inserted Soeewiat 
below it 
Rim of fruit rather Bread and flat 
. Flowers generally 3 in an umbel, #. Bauer leni. 
(The real affinity is with Z. Gane ) 
Flowers more than 3 in an umbel, Z. ewgenioides. 
(The real affinity is with #. piperita.) 
. Leaves very pale, bark of stem hard and rugged, L. 
Sieberiana. 
Leaves green, bark of stem smooth or fibrous 
Fruit ovate-truncate, top of fruit reddish, 2. haemas- 
toma. 
Fruite globose, truncate or shortly ovate 3 
Leaves rather small, their oildots large and not very 
numerous ; stem-bark fibrous, L. “amygdalina. 
(Z#. dives is an aberrant form of this, There is a variety 
in Tasmania with linear leaves.)
