Evcaryprus piatypus, Hook. 
Glaberrima, ramis teretibus, foliis alternis obcordatis crasso-cori- 
aceis rigidis nitidis impunctatis subsinuatis in petiolum brevem 
subtortum attenuatis, pedunculo axillari longitudine folioram an- 
cipiti-compresso latissimo lignoso-coriaceo apice 3—5-floro, oper- 
culo cylindraceo conico elongato-obtuso, calyce turbinato, sta- 
minibus numerosis sulphureis calyce longioribus. 
Has. South-western Australia, near King George’s Sound, Drum- 
mond (x. 183). 
A very remarkable species of Lucalyptus, easily distinguished 
in this extensive and difficult genus. Luc. Preissiana, Schauer, 
has a similar broad and ancipitate peduncle, but that is placed in 
the division Oppositifoliz, and has the leaves opposite or sub- 
alternate, elliptical, oblong or subparabolic, pellucido-punctate, the 
base rounded, and the petiole as long as the peduncle,—characters 
much at variance with our plant.
