Mueller (Eucalyptographia under E. alba) says : — 



E. plalyphjlla F.v.M., Journ. Linn. Soc. iii, 93, approaches closely to E. ulha: the leaves are 

 mostly broader, the lid is generally shorter and blunt and the valves less cxserted: its foliage sheds for 

 short periods almost entirely. The range and variability of these trees remains yet to be further ascertained 

 by extended field researches. 



In his Census lie omits E. platyphylla, considering it to be conspecific with E. alba. 



" E. platyphylla. I cannot distinguish (E. alba) from this, even as a variety." 

 (J. Gr. Luehmann in Proc. Aust. Assoc. Adv. Science, vii, 532, 1898.) I concur in that 

 opinion.

E. bigalerita was not enumerated by Mueller in Lis •• Second Census," and it is 

 assumed that Mueller included \\ under E. alba.
