regards the small fruited forms of the latter. For example, 

 Mueller" s variety pluriflora of the latter is odorata. The 

 timber of E. leucoxylon is pal'e, and its bark less rough. The 

 venation of the leaivesi of E . odorata is more marked than that 

 of E . leucoxylon. 



(d) With E. fcecunda, Schauer. 



The affinity of these two species as regards foliage buds, 

 fruits, and p'erhaps timber is undoubted. E. loxophleha, 

 Benth., var. fruticosa, Benth., B. Fl. iii., 252, is, in my opinion, 

 referable to E. odorata (E. loxophleha is now acknowledged to 

 be a form of E. fcecunda). E. odorata has not yet been 

 traced to Western Australia, and the relations of the two 

 species requi/re to be more closely studied. 



(e) With E. hemiphloia, F. v. M. 



Brown, in his "Forest Flora of South Australia," says that 

 E. odorata is allied to E. hemiphloia in that State. This is 

 doubtless true in other States also, and should be borne in 

 mind. For some further remarks touching the affinity of 

 E. odorata to' E. hemiphloia, var. microcarpa, see under E. 

 Woohiana, p. 244. Mr. R. H. Cambage, Proc. Linn. Soc, 

 A^.S.W., XXV., 714, has drawn attention to the similarity of 

 the two species. 



(f) With E. calycogona, Turcz. 



The form of odorata, known as var. linearis, and called 

 ''Whipstick Mallee" in New South Wales and Victoria, un- 

 doubtedly presents similarity to E. calycogona, Turcz., var 

 gracilis, Maiden. A very ready diiference between them 

 lies in the pointed opercula of E. odorata. E. calycogona, 

 Turcz., var. celastroides, Maiden, in its narrowed-lea.ved forms, 

 displays similarity in leaves, glaucousness, and shape of buds. 

 The fruits, how'ever, are ovoid, while those of odorata are 

 hemispherical.

''Euc. odorata forma angustifolia, Dombey Bay, December, 

 1851." The leaves seem to me of normal width. (Probably E. 

 perforata, F, v. M.).
