90 NOTES ON TASMANIAN EUCALYPTS. 



ing ; the branches which bear it are angular, but not 

 nearly so quadricular aa in E . glohuhis 



^'E. antiioolitensis is a very fine tree which has not yet 

 been propagated ; it has numerous capsules in which the 

 number of the fertile seeds is restricted, but quite sutficient 

 to ensure propagation." 



13. E. vimiiialis var. racemosa F.v.M. 



Ml'. Rodway drew my attention to a straggly, scrambl- 

 ing tree of medium size, rough bark to branches, in- 

 florescence racemose, in the Reserve in front of the 

 University, Hobart. The tree is supposed to' have been 

 planted. 



This is Mueller's var. racemosa, and I have figured 

 it at fig. 9b., Plate 118, Part 28, C.R., from Port Phillip, 

 Victoria. It is identical with R. Gunn's No. 1090 (op. 

 cit. p. 174) froim the Circular Head sand-hills, Tas., a 

 portion only of the inflorescence of which was figured at 

 fig. 6b., Plate 117. I do not look upon it as a useful 

 variety without further information. The Circular Head 

 sand-hills and the localities across Bass's Straits should be 

 further searched for E. viminalis with rough bark and 

 racemose inflorescence, when the matter can be recon- 

 sidered.
