I 9 8 EUCAL YPTUS. 



N. Australia. Rocky declivities of the Upper Victoria river, F. 

 Mueller. The specimens preserved are very fragmentary. 



100. E. concolor, Schau. in PL Preiss. i. 129. A tree of 30 to 40 

 ft., with a smooth bark (Oldfield], a small tree of 8 to 12 ft. (Preiss}, with 

 much of the aspect of E. decipiens, but larger and more rigid in all its 

 parts. Leaves ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate-acuminate, often 4 to 5 in. 

 long, thick and rigid, the fine diverging veins numerous and parallel but 

 scarcely conspicuous, the intramarginal one nearer the edge than in E. 

 decipiens. Peduncles short, axillary, broad and flat but thick, each with 

 a head of 6 to 12 or more sessile flowers. Calyx-tube turbinate, thick 

 and often angled, but otherwise smooth, about 3 lines long. Oparculum 

 conical or acuminate, rather longer than the calyx-tube. Stamens in- 

 flected; anthers globular, small, but not so small as in E. decipiens, with 

 distinct parallel cells. Ovary conical or convex in the centre. Fruit 

 globose-truncate, about 4 lines diameter, contracted at the orifice, the 

 rim broad, flat or slightly convex, the capsule sunk, but the points of the 

 valves usually protruding. 



W. Australia. Doubtful-Island Bay and shady ravines, Point Irwin, 

 Oldfield ; near Freemantle, Preiss, n. 225 ; also Drummond, ^th 

 Coll. n. 77. 



101. E. goniantha, Turcz. in Bull. Mosc. 1847, i- J 63- Leaves 

 ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate-acuminate, mostly falcate, rarely under 3 

 in. and sometimes above 4 in. long, thick and rigid, the very fine rather 

 oblique veins numerous and parallel but scarcely conspicuous, the intra- 

 marginal one close to or very near the edge. Peduncles axillary or lat- 

 eral, short, rather thick and flattened, mostly recurved, each with 4 to 8 

 flowers on short thick angular pedicels. Calyx-tube very broadly turbi- 

 nate, thick and very prominently ribbed, 3 to 4 lines diameter. Oper- 

 culum strongly ribbed, nearly hemispherical at the base, with a thick ob- 

 tuse beak as long as or rather longer than the calyx-tube. Stamens 4 to 5 

 lines long, inflected in the bud; anthers small, ovate, with parallel dis- 

 tinct cells. Fruit depressed-globular or subglobular. truncate, hard, more 

 or less ribbed, or sometimes almost smooth, 4 to 5 lines diameter, some- 

 what contracted at the orifice, the rim rather broad and nearly flat, the 

 capsule somewhat sunk, but the valves occasionally protruding. 



W. Australia. King George's Sound or to the eastward, Collie; 

 Baxler; Drummond, jrd Coll. n. 71; Franklin river, Maxwell (in fruit 

 only with rather broad leaves). 



104. E. decurva, F. Muell. Fragm. iii. 130. A large shrub of 10 

 to 12 ft, or a small tree of 10 to 30 ft., with a smooth bark (Oldfield, 

 Maxwell}. Leaves lanceolate, usually narrow, rarely ovate-lanceolate, 

 acuminate, rarely exceeding 4 in. and often under 3 in. long, thick or 

 rather thin, the veins diverging, but not close and scarcely visible, the 

 intramarginal one more or less distant from the edge. Peduncles axillary
