The following are based on Bentham's references : — 



a. " E. granulans, Sieb. PI. Exs." This is E. rubida Deane and Maiden. See 



Part XXVI, p. 110. 



b. " E. Gunnii, Miq. in Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv, 12G (not of Hook, f.), from 



Streleczky range, Victoria, appears to be E. viminalis." 



This is E. rubida Deane and Maiden. See Part XXVI, p. 110. 



c. " E. patentiflora, F. Muell., is referred here in F. Muell. Fragm., ii, 64. The 



specimens described under that name by Miq., in Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv, 

 125, belong to E. melliodora." 



See Vol. II, p. 136, of the present work. 



d. " Exhibition Woods, No. 108, Macarihwr" quoted by Bentham as a synonym, 



is the Flooded Gum of Camden, a tall tree, " a fine-looking, but compara- 

 tively worthless sort; the timber weak and not durable." (Cat. N.S.W. 

 Timbers London Exh. 1862, p. 26, collected by Sir William Macarthur.) 

 It is E. Benthami Maiden and Cambage, Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W. xlviii, 418

5. E. Huberiana Naudin, 2nd Mem. p. 42. 



Described from one tree obtained at Nice, where it was cultivated by M. Huber, 

 after whom it is named. It is allied to or identical with E. viminalis. 



The leaves are short for E. viminalis. The following translation is published 

 for the first time : — 



I only know this species by a single specimen growing at the Villa Thuret, which I discovered at 

 Nice in an old garden belonging to M. Huber, a horticulturist, after whom I named it. It is biform and 

 quite distinct from all those that I know. The young leaves are opposite, sessile, oval or oval-oblong, 

 pointed, cordiform, and united at the base, slightly glaucescent, 3-4 centimetres long and 7-10 millimetres 

 broad at the most; when the tree is full grown the leaves are alternate, petiolate, narrow-lanceclate, pointed 

 at the apex and the base, straight or very slightly curved, of a bright green colour. 12-16 centimetres long 

 and 7-10 millimetres broad at the most. From a distance, and at the first glance, one might take E. 

 Huberiana for a rather slender form of viminalis, but it can be easily distinguished from it by the following 

 characteristics. 



Its inflorescence consists of axillary umbels, rather shortly pedunculate, composed cf seven veiy 

 small pedicellate flowers with the conical operculum the same length as the calyx tube. The fruit which 

 is about as large as an average grain of hemp-seed is pyriform-truncate. The capsule is three-celled, Qat 

 on top and a little shorter than the calyx tube, the erect valves however exceed it slightly when mature. 



This Eucalyptus is a graceful tree, slender of form, rustic in this country, about 10 metres high when 

 7 years old, but I do not know to what height it might attain in time, or to what part of Australia it is 

 native.
