7. With E. globulus, Labill. 



E. pulverulcnta, Link. {Euume ratio, page 31) is, according to Mueller 

 "Eucalyptographia," E. globulus Labill., the confusion having undoubtedly arisen 

 through the glaucousness and the shape of the sucker leaves of the latter. A 

 specimen of E. globulus, probably collected by Verreaux, and labelled " E. pulccru- 

 lenta, Tasmanie, No. 85, ex herbario Mussei Parisiensis, 1844," in herb. Barbey- 

 Boissier, is additional evidence of the confusion between these two species that 

 formerly existed. 



If Plate 79 be referred to it will be seen that the relations of E. globulus 

 Labill. and E. cinerea F.v.M. are not very close. / 



Varieties. 



1. var. multiflora, var. nov. 



2. var. nova-anglica, var. nov. (see p. 9). 



[Further investigations in regard to the climatic variations of these two 

 forms are necessary.] 



1. var. multiflora var. nov. 



A tree usually of medium size, but it may attain a height of about 100 feet, 

 bark softly fibrous, branches smooth, timber reddish and inferior in quality. 

 Juvenile foliage sessile, cordate or ovate lanceolate. 



(a) Mature leaves cordate to lanceolate. 



(b) Flowers in more than threes. 



(c) The peduncles usually in both axils as in the normal form. It is this 

 form that is depicted as E. Shiartiana by Mueller in the Eucalyptographia. 



RANGE. 



It would appear to be confined to south-eastern New South Wales and the 

 eastern half of Victoria. 



New South Wales. 



Bark like mahogany, wood dark red when fresh. Grows 30 feet and 1 foot 

 in diameter. Common in swampy heathy flats. Eden to Cape Howe, also Narra- 

 barba to Victorian border (J. S. Allan). 



"Bastard Box," grows to a large size, has a persistent Grey Box bark to the 

 branches, found growing on high land. Grows from Shoalhaven to Victoria, near 

 Wolumla (J. S. Allan). This specimen has pedicellate flowers like Figure 10, Plato 

 89, and differs somewhat from the preceding specimen, perhaps to be accounted for 

 by its occurrence in better drained localities.
