The description in Walpers' Annales Botanices SijstematiccB, i, 309, has the 

 above portion [ ] (my brackets) omitted. 



E. fahrorum, Schlecht. is rcfei-red by F. Mueller to E. obliqua, owing to the 

 author's stating it to be the " Stringybark of the Colonists, and very possibly some 

 of Behr's specimens many be of that species ; but the only authentic one I have 

 seen in a perfect state is evidently E. vimbialis. — (B. Fl. iii, 205.) 



The following specimens, however, show tliat Mueller's view is correct : — 



1. " Eucalyptus fahrorum, Schlecht. Lofty Ranges (S. A.) Perd. Mliller 



Pharm. Cand." (1847 or 1818.) 



2. " Plantfe Miilleriantc, Eucalyptus fahrorum, Schlecht. Nov. Holland 



Meridional." 



3. "Eucalyptus fahrorum, Schlecht. Adelaide, Dr. E. Mueller, Herbar. W. 



Sonder." 

 I have seen all these specimens, which are identical, and all are E. obliqua. 

 No. 2 was the specimen examined by Miquel for his paper in Ned. Kruidk. Arch., iv.
