2. fi rugulosa, E.M. {E. rugidosa, F. Mi'iU., in sclieclulis lierbariorum) . 



Florum inajorum tubo amplo-obcoiiico ruguloso, foliis longioribus ; a vere ad autumnum florens ; 

 in vallibus et planitiebus, in Devily-Count)', Adelaide (F.M.), Lofty Eange. (Devil's Country, Mount 

 Lofty. The spellings of names of Australian localities are frequently much distorted in Miquel's work. — • 

 J.H.M.) (Miq. he. cit.) 



I have examined specimens in the Berlin and Vienna herbaria. They 

 seem to me quite aiormal, with the inflorescence shrunken somewhat in drying. 

 The type is described " calyce operculoque rugulosis." 



3. y rostellata, F.M. 



Operculo in cornu breve protracto. (E. rostellata, Behr, Herb.) Arbor mediocris in planitie 

 arenosa ad oppidulum Tammida (? Tanunda). Ramuli rubelli (Behr). (Miq. loc. cit.) 



I have not seen an authentic specimen of this so-called variety. Perhaps 

 the opercula resemble those depicted at fig. 3b, pi. 5G. I doubt very much whether 

 a variety based on the very variable character of length of operculum can stand. 



4. epriiinosa, E.M. 



Alabastris ramisque pruinosis, operculo rostellato. Arbor ingens, coma vetustiore nigricante 

 {E. trisds, Herb. Mull.). Salt Creek (Behr). (Miq. loc. cit.) 



I have seen one of the original specimens in tlie Vienna herbarium. It is a 

 little glaucous, hence the variety-name, but the species is of tener glaucous than not. 



5. 7) erythrostema, F.M. 



Filamentis sanguineis. — Rarius ad sinura Encounty-Bay (Encounter) et monlis B:agle (Bugle. — 

 J.H.M.) range (Stuart et F. Miiller) E. incrassata var. MiiU. Herb. (Miq. loc. cit.) 



There is a specimen labelled Eucalyptus incrassata, Labill., in Miquel's hand- 

 writing in the " Plantae Miillerianae " examined by him for the above paper, in 

 Herb. Barbey-Boissier. It is E. leucoxylon, F.v.M. 



This form is figured by J. Ednie Brown in his " Forest Flora of South 

 Australia," under the name of E. leucoxylon, var. viao'ocarjoa. "The large-fruited 

 Bed-flowering Gum." 



Mueller's name cannot stand, from the fact that the flowers are indiscrimi- 

 nately crimson and cream-coloured. 



6. Var. angulata, Benth. (B.Fl. iii, 210.) 



Flowers large, the calyx distinctly angled. Devil's Country (Lofty Bange), 

 South Austraha (F.v.M.). 



The flowers of E. leucoxylon are often distinctly angled. This form may be 

 identical with var. rugulosa, above. I do not think var. angulata is the form with 

 the largesi flowers {macrocarpa), 



7. Nq-v. pallens, Benth. (B.El. iii, 210.) 



I have not seen the typo, Ijut the trees usually attributed to this variety arc 

 cither E. sideroxylon, A. Cunn., or E. Caleyi, Maiden. See E. Caleyi, p. 90, and 

 also p. 84. In any case they are not E. leucoxylon.
