Hab. Alpine districts, not uncommon on the summit of Mount Wellington, Lake Echo, etc., Gunn. 
— (El. Dec.) {v. v.) (Cultivated in England.) 
A small tree, 15-20 feet high, with spreading branches and drooping, red-brown branchlets. Leaves extremely 
variable in size and shape, 1-4 inches long, generally shining, from ovate or elliptic and straight to narrow, linear- 
lanceolate and falcate; apex with a short, hooked, deciduous mucro ; petioles almost an inch long. Flowers -|-f inch 
long, in threes, with long pedicels at the apex of a long peduncle. Calyx extremely variable in breadth (rarely 
globose), swollen below, then contracted and expanding again at the mouth, which is thick, and not plane. Oper- 
culum short, broad, often with a mamilla, but sometimes sunk in the middle. Fruit sometimes an inch long ; valves 
sunk far below the mouth, placed at the contraction.— Upon this species a species of Coccus abounds, which yields 
a bright-red colouring matter, which may be of use in the arts : the fact was first noticed by Mr. Lawrence, who 
had commenced experiments upon the subject, that were frustrated by his lamented death.— Plate XXVI. Pig. 1, 
branch with ripe fruit, of the natural size; 2, calyx of flower, magnified. 
ft Calyx turbinate, obconic or obovate. Peduncles generally three-flowered {in E. Acer\ ula four- to eight-flowered). 
6. Eucalyptus viminalis (Lab. Nov. Holl. ii. 12, t. 151) ; ramis ramulisque teretibus, foliis pe- 
tiolatis anguste lanceolatis longe acuminatis falcatis, pedunculis petiolo brevioribus 3-4-floris, floribus 
subsessilibus, calycibus obconicis, operculo conico v. subhemispha3rico calyce gequilongo, capsulis parvis 
subglobosis, valvis exsertis porrectis majusculis erectis triangularibus. — De Cand. Prodr iii 218 (Gunn 
085, 1083, 1085, 1090, 1092.) 
Hab. Abundant throughout the Colony, ascending to 4000 feet, Lahillardiere, etc.— (Fl. Nov.) 
Distrib. South-eastern Australia. 
This 
man species, and forms a middling-sized tree 60 feet high, with i 
trunk of 3-5 feet in girth, flaking bark, and pendulous branchlets. Leaves petioled, a span and more long, slightly 
falcate, always very narrow, and tapering into a long, acuminate point. Peduncle -hoU-.,. th.,,1 the petiole^ bearing 
tlm ,. rarely tour or more Bowers. Flower* small, pedicelled. Calyx obconic, smooth. Operculum conical or he- 
mispherical, blunt or sharp, as long as the calyx. Capsule almost globose, size of a peppercorn, with a straight, 
polished, erect band round the top, from which the four prominent, triangular, woody valves rive. -Australian spe- 
cimens have often more than three flowers on each peduncle. 
7. Eucalyptus Gunnii (Hook. fil. Lond. Journ. Bot. iii. 499); arbor parva, ramulis floribusque 
glaucis, folns alternis petiolatis ellipticis ovatis oblongis lanceolatisve aeutis acuminatis mucronatisve, pe- 
dunculis 3-floris petiolo subaequilongis, calycibus turbinatis breviter pedicellatis, operculo latiusculo conico 
acute calyce subbreviore, capsula obovato-oblonga ore non incrassato, valvis immersis. (Gunn 1080
