172- 



I have seen one of Miquel's specimens as above in Planta? Miilleriante (Herb. 

 Barbey Boissier), and it is E. viminalis. There is a specimen, similarly labelled from 

 Herb. W. Sonder in herb. Cant. ex. herb. Lindl. 



I have seen specimens of E. saccharifera and E. crucivalvis so labelled by Mueller 

 (the latter having very exserted valves). 



Incidentally I may remark that saccharifera was sometimes written sacchariflua. 

 Two specimens are before me as I write, viz., one in Miquel's handwriting, arid a 

 second in W. H. Harvey's handwriting " ex herb. Hoolv' circa 1855. We may, 

 therefore, with safety put saccharifera, sacchariflua, and crucivalvis as synonyms of 

 viminalis. 



Reputed Synonyms. 



1. See the following references in the Flora Australiensis under E. viminalis :— 



" E. diversifolia Bonpl. PI Malm. 35, t. 13; DC. Prod, iii, 220. 



" Kangaroo Island R. Brown, Waterhouse, these specimens precisely agreeing 

 with those of E. diversifolia from French gardens, originally raised from Kangaroo 

 Island seeds. . . ." . 



" In the South Australian E. diversifolia, the flowers are rather numerous in 

 the umbel, and the fruit large." 



See Vol. I, p. 200, of the present work. The specimens are not E. viminalis; 

 they are E. diversifolia Bonpl. 



Bentham goes on to say :— " E. fabrorum, Schlecht., in Linna?a, xx, 656, was 

 supposed by F. Mueller to refer to E. obliqua, owing to his stating it to be the 

 ' Stringy-bark ' of the colonists, but Behrs specimen in Herb. Sonder, communicated 

 by Schlechtendahl, is evidently the large-fruited form of E. viminalis.'' Bentham's 

 reference is to E. diversifolia Bonpl. See Vol. I, pp. 40, 203, 218, of the present work. 



2. E. elata Dehnhardt." This is also quoted as a synonym. See Catalogus 

 plant. Hort. Camuld. 26. 



According to Mueller (" Eucalyptographia "), this is referable to E. amygdaliiia 

 and not to E. viminalis, according to a specimen received from Baron Cesati, see Nuovo 

 Gornale Hot. Ital. xii, 46. See Part VI, p. 157 of the present work, where I suggest 

 it may be rather E. radiata Sieb. (E. numerosa, Maiden), closely allied to E. amygdalina. 

 The original description of the leaves is " lineari-lanceolatis .... pellucido- 

 punctatis." Another specimen labelled E. elata Dehn. ex. h. (hort.) bot. Berolin. in 

 Mueller's handwriting, given to me by Mr. Luehmann, is E. globulus Labill. 

 < (hviously two, if not three, species are included in specimens sent out as E. ela'a Dehn. 



la. ' Walp. Rep. ii, 163."' The reference is to E. elata Dehn., just dealt with, 

 and to E. marmifera Moudie (Moodie), see below.
