DESCRIPTION. 



II , E. crebra, F.v.M. 



Joiu'ii. Linn, Soc, iii, 87 (1859). 



Again described in B.n. iii, 221, and also in Eiicalyptographia. ' Some of 

 tiie trees referred to in the supplementary paragrajjlis (B.Pl. iii, 222) belong to 

 jE. melanophlola, F.v.M. 



Notes supplementary to the Description. 



It would have been better had the figure in the Eucalyptographia been placed 

 upside down,' as the foliage is pendulous. It is, indeed, the most graceful of the 

 Ironbarks. It has often quite thin leaves, but this is not an unfailing character. 

 The foliage often dries whitish, particularly when from drier localities. 



The fruits are quite small, perhaps not quite so small, on the average, as 

 those depicted in the liucalijplograpldu. Sometimes they arc so large as to cause 

 possible confusion with E. paniculata. 



Sometimes the fruit has a rounded rim and has valves which arc cxscrt.

" Far too imperfectly described to render identification possible." (B.Fl. iii, 

 200.) I concur, unless a specimen is available. The following, however, has been 

 named racemosa by a good botanist. 



A specimen in Herb. Vindob. is labelled '" Eucalyptus haematostoraa. Smith ; 

 E. racemosa, Cav., with a note ' No. 47G, Sieber.' " It is E. crebra, F.v.M.
