 Cabbage or Weeping Gum. 



Systematic. A tree reaching 40 or 50 feel in height, with spreading lin 

 weeping branches, and branchlets thai hang down to or i_- feet, the latter 

 often glaucous or reddish. Abnormal leaves alternate, petiolate, ovate to ovati 

 lanceolate, up to 8 inches long and 3 inches broad; venation prominent, almost 

 parallel to the mid-rib. Normal leaves lanceolate to linear lanceolate, thick, 

 shining, acuminate, often falcate, about 5 inches long ; venation almosl parallel to 

 the mid-rib. Oil glands numerous. Umbels oi about six to twelve flowers, 

 borne on axillary or lateral peduncles about 4 lines long. Buds glaucous, 

 somewhat clavate, about 4 lines long. Calyx tube tapering to base; operculum 

 hemispherical, usually shortly pointed. 



Fruits. Broadly turbinate, truncate; rim red, 

 broad, horizontal or slightly domed ; valvt s 

 not exserted; 4 lines long and 5 line- 

 broad. 



The main features which distinguish these fruits from 



oriacea its nearest affinity, arc th,
