Var. f Hyperitifolia. Leaves of the fruiting branches all opposite, 

 oblong-lauceolate, rounded or cordate at the base, and sessile or nearly 

 so. Risdon Cove, R. Brorvn. E. Hypericifolia, R. Br. Herb. The

NOTES ON SYNONYMS AND VARIETIES. 



Names have in many cases been given, first to one species, then to 

 another, or to varieties by the same, or usually by different botanists. 

 This common source of botanical confusion, requires guarding against in 

 the Eucalyptus. By referring to a list that follows help may be obtained 

 in correcting name errors and in placing varieties correctly. 



Eucalyptus coriacea, see Eucalyptus pauciflora. Eucalyptus Virgata, 

 see Eucalyptus Sieberiana.

 ing branches, opposite ovate-cordate and more or less connate, or some- 

 times those of the flowering branches alternate, broadly lanceolate and 

 falcate, rather thick with oblique veins scarcely conspicuous, the intra- 

 marginal one at a distance from the edge. Peduncles axillary or lateral, 

 terete or angular, bearing each an umbel of 4 to 8, or even more. Flowers

 The rirn rather broad, flat, the valves enclosed.

 lateral at the base ; umbels solitary, calyces granular-rough, lid hemis- 

 pheric ; fruits truncate-ovate, border compressed, valves enclosed, 



8. E. haemastoma, D. C. Leaves equally green, very shining ; 

 umbels solitary, stalks somewhat compressed; outer stamens sterile ; 

 fruits semiovate, border depressed, valves very short, enclosed. 



9. E. Todtiana, F. M. Leaves thick, shining, almost equally 

 green; umbels solitary, stalklets none, lid hemispheric ; anthers cordate; 

 fruits rather large, truncate globular, valves enclosed; fertile seeds mem-, 

 branously margined. 



10. E. euprestium, F. M. Leaves rather small, equally green ; 

 umbels mostly solitary; flowers small, lid hemispheric; fruits large, 

 truncate-globular, greyish, border compressed, valves enclosed ; fertile 

 seeds membranously margined. 



11. E. sepulcralis, F. fl. Leaves narrow, equally green; umbels 

 solitary; stalks elongated; lid hemispheric, filaments yellow, anthers 

 roundish ; fruits large, ovate urnshaped, narrowed upwards, valves 

 deeply enclosed. 



12. E. Oldfieldii, F. M. Dwarf; leaves equally green, thick; 

 umbels solitary, stalks short, stalklets very short, lid semiovate-hemis- 

 pheric, border of orifice broad convex, emersed, valves exserted. 



13. E. marginata, Sm. Leaves paler beneath, veins spreading;
