2. With E.falcata, Turcz. 



This is ohservable in the corrugation of huds and fruits, e.ff., Ic and Id.. 

 Plate 6l>, but (see Plate 68) E. oleosa, var. Flocktoni, and E. falcata are sufficiently 

 distinct. 



8. With E. deeurva, F.v.M. 



I have received from Professor Ewart a specimen from Herb. Mell)., labelled 

 " On the level plains, south from Stirling Range. Shrub 10 feet, 14th January, 

 1862. B. oleosa, F.v.M., var. Eucali/pfus decurna, Benth., partim, non Ferd. 

 Mueller." It is E. oleosa, var. Flockfoni. 



This locality is Kalgan Plains or thercaljout, and the collector was pi-ol^ably 

 Maxwell. The reference to Bentham is explained under E. decurna, this Part, 

 p. 191, for Bentham confused Mueller's E. deeurva with E. faleaia. 



Another specimen, " Peppermint," Murchison Eiver, Western Australia 

 (Oldfield) " (scQ fig. '.^, Plate 69) was included doubtfully in E. dcciirva by Bentham, 

 and connects the present variety with E. oleosa. 



A third specimen, Cowcowing, Western Australia (Max Koch), figured at 3, 

 Plate 69, is also a connecting foi'm. 



It will be seen from the above that Bentham confused E. falcata and E. 

 deeurva because of tlie incomplete material at his disposal, and since E. oleosa, var. 

 Flockfoni, was one of the forms so confused, I direct attention to the matter. 

 Compare fig. 2, Plate 70 {E. decurvn), and the strong resemblances will be at once 

 evident. 



At the same time the anthers of the two forms sharply separate them. 



4. With E. torquata, Luehm. 



The variety Flocktoni, especially in its most corrugated form {e.g., figs. Ic, 

 Id of Plate 69), certainly resenililes E. torquata, Luehm. (see 6a and 6c, Plate 13, 

 Part IV), but the anthers sharply sejiarate the two Euoalypts, while other differences 

 are apparent. 



5. With E. incrassata, Labill. 



Attention may be invited to the figures of E. inaytssata buds at la, and fruits 

 at 2a, Plate 16, Part IV of the present \Aork. There is undoubted external 

 similarity to E. oleosa, var. Flockfoni, but the anthers separate the two forms.
