DESCRIPTION. 



L. E. Raveretiana, F.v.M. 



Fragmeiita phytocjraphice Australke, x, 99 (1877). Eigured and described in 

 English in the " Eucalyptographia." 



Notes supplementary to the Description. 



Tlie figure in the " Eucalyptographia " is not a A'ery good one. While the 

 tree has many leaves of the shape depicted, yet there are also numerous long lanceolar 

 leaves, as figured at fig. 3a, El. u3 of the present work, while the juvenile leaves, 

 figured at la and lb of the same Elate, have not previously been figured or 

 described. 



They vary from obovate to broadly lanceolate and elliptical in shape. Texture 

 rather thin but tougli, underside pale, intramarginal vein rather distant from the 

 edge. 



The tree is very large and sturdy, and the timber is very hard. It has flaky 

 or hai'd scaly bark on the trunk and main branches. Tlie flakes or furrows are not 

 deep. The smaller branches are dirty blue grey in colour. 



It is a " Eox" tree. 



RANGE. 



Near Rockhampton, Queensland (Thozet and O'Shanesy) ; Dawson and Nercool 

 Creek (Bowman) ; near Fort Denison (Fitzalan) [^EucahiptoyrcipJda^^. I have 

 no additional localities other than those quoted. The tjpe came from valleys 

 within the tropic of Capiicorn in Eastern Australia, l)ut no definite locality. It 

 doubtless came from tlie neighbourliood of Rockhampton. 



Moore's Creek, north of Rockhampton, is the nearest locality to Rockhampton 

 where this species occurs. 



" Occasional trees along creeks and liorders of scrubs in Mackay and Bowen 

 districts."
