AFFINITIES. 



]. Willi E. microthcca, V.x.M. 



Mueller ( Eacalyploriraphia) says these two species arc closest related. The 

 inflorescence and fruits of E. llaveredana ai'c, however, smaller, being almost minute, 

 the foliage is different, Avhilc the liaiks of the two trees arc very different, and while 

 the timber of E. mlcrothe^a is red, tiiat of E. Revere/ iaiia is of a broAvn colour. The 

 latter species is a much larger tree. 



2 and 3. With E. brachyandra, F.v.M., and E. Howittiana, F.v.M. 



Mueller {Eucahiptogyaphla) points out the resemblance of it to the former 

 species as regards size of fruits. Being a minute-flowered species, E. Ilowittiana, 

 E.v.^I., naturally also occurs to one in this connection. 



From the point of view of anther-form, the closest affinity of this species is with 

 tl'.c two Ironbarks E. crcbra and E. Staigcriana, and an Ironbnrk Box, E. Icplophleha.
