AFFINITIES. 



Its position seems to be between E. longifolia, Link and Otto, and E. punctata 

 DC, but to come nearer to the former. The timber seems to be nearer E. longifolia 

 in textm-e and colour, although that of E. punctata runs it closely. As regards the 

 bark, while E. punctata is consistently a Grey Gum, one may have logs showing that 

 the woolly bark (woolly-butt) of E. longifolia almost disappears, showing bark inter- 

 mediate between a Grey Gum and a Woolly-butt. E. adjuncta is a Grey Gum. 



1. With E. longifolia Link and Otto. 



For E. longifolia see Part XX, Plate 86, of the present work. There is 

 similarity in the pink veins of the leaves and in the three-flowered umbels and in the 

 timber. There are differences in the larger leaves of E. longifolia, in the (as a rule) 

 smaller flowers, in the absence or almost absence of exsertion of the valves and in the 

 roughness of the bark. 



2. With E. punctata DC. 



Originally E. adjuncta was sent as a " bark and timber not to be distinguished 

 from E. punctata." For E. punctata see Part XXIX, Plates 121, 122, of the present 

 work, where it will be seen that the pedimcles and pedicels are thicker, the flowers are 

 more numerous in the umbel, the buds different in shape, and the fruits different.
