Observations. — Je n'ai point parle de deux eapecea cultivSea au Jardin dea Plante-, & mentionees 

 dans le Catalogue sous les noma d'Eucalyptu8 angusfcifolia, — oppo8iti£olia. On n'en connoit enc ire que lea 

 feuilles : la premiere remarquable par ses feuilleo etroites, lance"olee3; la seconde par sea feuillea presqu' 

 opposes, me\Hocrement petiole\ s, lancdoWes, tria-aiguSs, a uervurea simples, parallfeleB. Elks sont toutes 

 deux originaire.s de la Nouvelle-Hollande. (Poir. Enri/c. Suppl. ii, 594, 1785.) 



I liavc seen the following specimens of the old collectors : — 



a. " Eucalyptus robusta, N. Holland, Dr.' Smith ex. herb. Lambert " in Ilerb. 

 Cant, (obviously a co-type). 



b. No. d.,746 collected by llobert Brown, 1800-04, Port Jackson. 



c. Eucalyptus robusta var. b. rostrata in A. Cunn.'s handwriting, which is a 

 piece of normal E. robusta. 



d. No. 480 Sieber, New Holland. 



e. "Eucalyptus robusta Sm. (E. rostrata Cav.) De la Nouvelle Hollande. 

 No. 480. M. Sieber, 1823." 



/. "Eucalyptus capitellata Sm. de l'ile Maurice M. Sieber, 1826, No. 318," 

 with the additional printed label " Fl. maurit. ii, No. 318." 



Both these specimens are in Herb. Barbey-Boissier and are E. robusta Sm. 

 The second specimen gives a reference to Sieber's botanical trip to the Mauritius. 



Another specimen bears the label — 



(j. " Sieberi Flora Mauritiana Exsicc, part ii,No. 318; Fl. maurit. ii, No. 318." 



h. M. Verreaux No. 11, 1815, Nouv. Hollande, Cote Crientale.
