IDENTIFICATION OF EUCALYPTS. 97 



veins feathery-spreading; umbels paniculated; stalklets almost none; lid hemispheric- 

 tearing off along an irregular suture; fruits large, smooth, ovate-urnshape, border 

 compressed, valves inclosed; fertile seeds terminating in a large mem))rane. Bark 

 rough and persistent. 



A large tree, jiromising for tropical countries. 



36. E. corymbosa Sm. Leaves thick, broad to narrow lanceolate, nnich jjaler 

 beneath; veins feathery-spreading; umbels paniculated; stalklets elongated; lid 

 short, tearing off along an irregular suture; fruits rather large, smooth, ovate-shaped, 

 border compressed, valves inclosed; fertile seeds terminating in a very short 

 membrane. 



37. E. tessellaris F. v. M. Leaves narrow, elongated, equally green above and 

 below; umbels mostly paniculated; stalklets very short; lid patellar, shining; fruits 

 truncate-ovate, slightly urceolar; border compressed, valves inclosed; fertile seeds 

 almost flat, membraneous-margined. Bark rough and persistent on the lower i)art 

 of the trunk; remainder of trunk smooth. 



Promising for hot, dry regions free from frost. 



38. E. corynocalyx F. v. M. Leaves shining, somewhat paler beneath; umbels 

 mostly solitary; lid almost hemispheric, slightly overreaching the orifice of the calyx; 

 fruits urnshaped-ellipsoid, streaked; border compressed, valves inclosed. 



39. E. maculata Hook. Leaves elongated, equally green above and below; veins 

 feathery-spreading; umbels paniculated; stalklets short; lid double, hemispheric, the 

 inner thin, shining; fruit truncate-ovate, somewhat urnshaped, border compressed, 

 valves inclosed. Bark smooth, falling off in i^atches and thus giving the trunk a 

 spotted appearance. 



Thrives on stony ridges; susceptible to frost; wood useful for paving. 



40. E. citriodora Hook. Leaves long and narrow, equally shiny green above 

 and below, veins spreading; umbels paniculated; stalklets short; lid hemispheric; 

 fruit truncate-ovate, somewhat urn-shaped, border compressed, valves inclosed. 



41. E. eximia Sch. Leaves thick, elongated, equally green above and below; 

 umbels paniculated; stalklets none; lid thin, hemispheric, shining, imperfectly dou- 

 ble; fruit rather large, truncate ovate, somewhat urnshaped, Iwrder compressed, 

 valves inclosed; fertile seeds large. Bark rough and persistent. 



A medium-sized tree furnishing good fuel. 



42. E. cordata Lab. Leaves opposite, sessile, mostly cordate, crenulated, equally 

 dull green above and below; oil-glands pellucid; umbels solitary; stalklets none; 

 fruits semiovate, border compressed, at the edge annular, valves barely inclosed. 

 Bark thm, solid, slightly wrinkled. 



43. E. urnig-era Hook. Leaves scattered, long-stalked, almost lanceolar, crenu- 

 lated, equally dark green; oil glands pellucid; umbels solitary; stalks elongated, 

 stalklets rather short; fruits ellipsoid-urnshaped, border compressed, at the edge 

 annular, valves deeply inclosed. Bark smooth, pale brown. 



A small tree tliat endures low temperatures. 



44. E. platyphylla F. v. M. Leaves often large, cordate or ovate roundish, long- 

 stalked, equally dull green above and below; umbels solitary; stalks short, stalklets 

 almost none; lid blunt; fruits small, semiovate, border depressed, valves exserted. 

 Bark smooth and deciduous. 



45. E. stuartiana F. v. M. Leaves scattered, stalked, equally dark green, shin- 

 ing; umbels solitary; few-fiowered stalklets almost none; lid nearly hemi.spheric; 

 fruits small, semiovate-top shaped, border narrow, rather convex, valves very small, 

 exserted. 



46. E. viminalis Hook. Leaves scattered, stalked, falcate-lanceolar, equally green
