EUCALYPTS OF THE NEW ENGLAND TABLE-LAND. 543 
Its fruits are smaller than either, reminding one of those of Z. 
microtheca. The valves are well exserted. The pedicels are, on 
the average, as long as the fruits ; the common peduncle is also 
much longer than that of either of the preceding forms. The adult 
foliage is linear-lanceolate or lanceolate, the average dimensions 
being,say,5x3in. The twigs are slender; in fact the characteristic 
of the tree is the smallness and grace of its parts. The sucker 
foliage has crenulate margins like No. 3, but longer, narrower, 
and more pointed leaves. Some of the very young foliage is 
linear-lanceolate, and even linear. A good deal of the young 
foliage reminds one superficially of that of the Wilga (Gevera 
parviflora). The sucker foliage is alternate, not opposite like 
normal Stwartiana. This form and the preceding one undoubtedly 
show close affinity in their young foliage. 
It will be generally agreed that these four forms are interesting, 
and I look forward to examination of seedlings of the series, 
which may perhaps throw further light upon their affinities. 
E. viminalis, Labill.—In speaking of #. obliqua, I have alluded 
to the occurrence of fine trees of this species between Myrtle 
Serub and Yarrowitch. The viminalis trees are straight, hand- 
some-looking trees, up to 3 ft. in diameter, and as high as obliqua. 
The bark is more or less rough at the butt; above this the bark 
is thin, falling off in ribbons. This obligwa-viminalis forest is in 
rich basaltic soil ; in poorer ground towards Walcha the viminalis 
trees are much inferior. On a ridge near Tia I observed a vimi- 
nalis tree with larger fruits. 17 miles east of Walcha, on a flat, 
may be observed many trees with perfectly smooth trunks, with 
plum-coloured patches thereon. They have glaucous, plum-tinted, 
broadish (ovate-lanceolate) suckers, but are, nevertheless, un- 
doubtedly viminalis. For many miles before Walcha is reached 
E. wiminalis is exceedingly abundant, but most of the trees are of 
the usual Ribbony Gum type, with all stages of twistiness of the 
ribbony bark, and with much variation in the amount of rough 
bark at the butt. 
Lf. tereticornis, Sm.-—First seen, on the table-land, between 
Yarrowitch and Tia. Fine trees. On the Upper Hastings it was 
one of the commonest trees. It occurs sparingly on the table- 
land up till, say, 10 miles into Walcha.
