Messrs. Schiininel & Co. described E. alba oil from Java as colourless, very 

 volatile, and with a pleasant nutmeg-like odour. 



Mr. W. V. Fitzgerald speaks of it (as E. platyphyUa) in North-West Australia 

 as " a copious oil producer." The abundance of oil in this species is implied by the 

 name " Kaju-puti " (Cajeput), applied to it in Malaysia in common with other trees 

 also rich in oil.

1. E. moluecana Roxb. 



Lid conical, shorter than the calyx. Panicles lateral, composed of peduncled 

 heads, of six or seven flowers. Leaves alternate, petioled, lanceolate, entire, firm and 

 polished. (Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii, 498, 1832.) Miquel in Fl. Ind. Bat. i, Part i, 398, refers 

 it to E. alba, but Bentham throws doubt on it, which he has a right to do, if no specimens 

 are available. 



2. E. obliqua Decaisne. 



E. foliis lanceolato-elongatis acuminatis coriaceis inaequilateralibus rotundatis 

 petiolatis ; cymis axillaribus, pedunculis petiolum aequantibus 5-9-floris ; calyce tur- 

 binato integro.

Blume (see E. Decaisneana below) states that E. obliqua Dene, is a synonym of 

 his E. Decaisn--'ana. 



3. E. populifolia, No. 1, Hook. 



Hooker described two species under this name, and I have called that No. 1, which 

 was described in Mitchell's work, reserving the designation No. 2 for that described in 

 the Icones t. 879 (1852).
