EUCALYPTUS. 207 



culum not seen. Stamens above ^ in. long, inflected in the bud; an- 

 thers small, ovate-oblong, with parallel distinct cells. Fruit urceolate, ij^ 

 in. long and above i in. diameter, smooth, the rim concave, the capsule 

 sunk. Seeds not seen. 



127. E. dichromophloia, F. Muell. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 89. A 

 moderate-sized or large tree, the bark smooth, ash-grey, at 'length sepa- 

 rating from the inner reddish bark (F. Mueller). Leaves in the imper- 

 fect specimens very long, lanceolate, narrow, thick, with numerous, very 

 fine, close, parallel veins, the intramarginal one scarcely distant from the 

 edge. Umbels several-flowered, forming loose, terminal, corymbose pan- 

 icles. Young buds obovoid, with a very short obtuse operculum; perfect 

 flowers unknown. Anthers of E. corymbosa. Fruit urceolate-globose, 

 with a contracted neck, smooth, attaining sometimes ) in. diameter, but 

 mostly much smaller; the rim thin, the capsule sunk. Perfect seeds 

 broadly winged on one side. 



128. E. pyrophora, Benth. Nearly allied to the preceding four 

 species, but apparently to be distinguished, unless all be considered as 

 forms of E. corymbosa. Leaves long, narrow, and thicker than in any 

 of them. Inflorescence the same. Buds obovoid-pear-shaped, the very 

 obtuse operculum undistinguishable from the calyx-tube till it separates, 

 and then often tearing off irregularly. Flowers larger than in E. tenni- 

 nalis y the calyx-tube very broad and op^n, varying from 4 to 6 lines diam- 

 eter. Stamens of the allied spec.es. Fruit globose or slighily ovoid, 

 contracted at the orifice, without a distinct neck, the rim thin, the cap- 

 sule sunk. Seeds apparently winged, but not seen perfect. 



UNKNOWN ANTO5, 



93. E. patellaris, F. Muell. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 84. A tall 

 tree with a rough furrowed persistent dull whitish bark (F. Mueller}. 

 Leaves lanceolate, falcate, acuminate, about 4 to 6 in. long, the veins 

 rather numerous and regular, oblique, the intramarginal one rather dis- 

 tant from the edge. Perfect flowers unknown. Inflorescence perhaps 

 compound. Calyx-tube (only seen in a diseased persistent bud) hard, 

 hemispherical, about 5 lines diameter, the border prominent. Opercu- 

 lum- much depressed, umbonate. Fruit pedicellate, broadly urceolate, 

 about 5 lines diameter, the orifice dilated, the rim broad and flat, the 

 valves protruding. 



N. Australia. Dry banks of the Roper river, (F. Mueller). De- 

 scribed from specimens far too imperfect to determine the affinities. 



116. E. ferruginea, Schau. in Walp. Rep. ii. 926. A moderate- 

 sized tree, with a rough persistent dark grey bark (F. Mueller), the
