DESCRIPTION. 



XC. E. leptopoda, Bentham. 



In B.Fl. iii, 238 (partiin). 



The types are Drummond's Nos. 33 and 36 (5th Coll.), but not Nos. 151 and 188 of 

 Drummond's specimens as quoted, which are H. salmonophloia, E.v.M. 



It is further described in Fragm., xi, 13. It is not figured in the 

 " Eucalyptographia." 



Notes supplementary to the description. 



A thin, wiry, rather erect tall shrub or small spindly tree, with several stems 

 together. Juvenile foliage narrow lanceolate, thick, equally green on l)oth sides, 

 no vein obvious other than the midrib. 



The tazza-like fruits as depicted at 66, Plate 73, seem characteristic, and are 

 the usual shape in this species. 



So far as I know, it is a very uniform species. 



SYNONYM. 



E. angustifolia, Turcz. 



I give the description, as it is contained in a work not readily accessible to 

 Australians. It has several years' priority over Bentham's name, but the name 

 angustifolia was applied to a species by Link, and indeed by at least one other 

 botanist. 



48. EiUialyptus anguMifolia (Drum. .O, n. 3.3). E. glabra ; ramis terctibus apioe subangulatis ; foliis 

 alfceniis lineari-laiiceolatis falcatis, in petiolum valdo attenuati.s, longe acuminatis : acuniino saepius uncinate, 

 pellucido-punctatis ; urubellis in parte inferiore denudata ramorum ortis paufisquc superioribus axillarbus 

 5-20-flori,s ; pedunculi.s floriferi.s compressis, fructiferis tcretiusculis, pedicello.s duplo excedentibus ; floribu.s 

 (inapertis) parvis pedicello duplo brevioribus ; operculo conico duplici cupulam aequante, exterioro 

 membranaceo citius cadente, interiore coriaceo. Folia uninervia, marginata, avenia vol obscure venosa, 

 4-pollicaria, 3 lin. tantum lata. Pedunculi floriferi petiolo plus quani duplo longiores, caetcrum 

 longitudine valde variabiles, nam in uno eoderaque specimine pedunculi fructiferi anni praecedentis 

 breviorcs sunt. Umbellae floriferae mulfciflorae (18-20), in stellam vol rotam dispositae, fructiferae inferne 

 positae 5-10-florae. Fructus sphaericus, pisi magnitudine, 4-.')-locularis, vertice calyce emorgente. Species 

 memorabilis operculo duplici, oxteriore saepe lacerate. Flores inter mininios, R. micranthae et affinium.
