No. No. 



48. Fruit much contracted at the orifice, nearly globular 

 Fruits but slightly or not at all contracted ... ... 50 



49. Fruits nearly 1 inch in diameter, E. buprestium. 

 Fruits about J inch in diameter, E. piperita. 



(Some specimens from near Port Jackson have almost urceo- 

 late fruitSj but seem gradually to pass into the other 

 form. ) 



50. Fruits nearly 1 inch in diameter, E. Planchoniana. 



Fruits rarely exceeding \ inch ... ... ... ... 51 



51. Peduncles mostly recurved ... ... ... ... 52 



Peduncles erect... ... ... ... ... ... 53 



52. Operculum conical, E. decurva. 

 Operculum hemispherical, E. Cooperiana. 



53. Base of the calyx as well as of the operculum abruptly 



dilated into a furrowed ring, E. torquata. 

 Base of calyx and operculum without these dilatations 54 



54. Peduncles short and thick, usually much flattened, 



E. incrassata. 



(An extremely variable species ; E. dumosa seems to pass 

 into it by almost imperceptible degrees, although it can 

 generally be distinguished by smaller flowers and fruits 

 and less flattened peduncles. E. grossa, which is the same 

 as E. pachypoda, appears to be also a variety with blunt, 

 but rather long, operculum. See also No. 108, E. 

 goniantha. ) 



Peduncles nearly terete, mostly slender ... ... 55 



55. Calyx angular ... ... ... ... ... ... 56 



Calyx terete 57 



56. Fruit about J inch long, E. gracilis. 

 Fruit about J inch long, E. ochropkloia. 



(Perhaps a variety of the above). 



57. Calyx and operculum granular rough ... ... 58 



Calyx and operculum smooth ... ... ... ... 60 



58. Large tree, with fibrous bark ; leaves mostly very 



inequilateral, E. obliqua. 

 (Sometimes cultivated under the name of E. fissilis.) 



Shrubs or small trees with smooth bark ... ... 59 



59. Leaves rather small, nearly straight, E stricta. 



(This is the typical E. stricta of Sieber, well described in 

 Mueller's Eucalyptographia, with reniform anthers. 

 Bentham, in Flora Austr. Ill, 217, apparently had a 

 mixture of two species before him, describing the fruit of 

 E. stricta, but the anthers of another species.
