NOTES ON THE SYNONYMS. 



Vjiriety eelastroides. 



1. E. ealyeogona, Turcz., and E. eelastroides, Turcz., were omitted by 

 Bentham from the Flora " Australiensis " by accident, together with seventy-five 

 other species of Myrtacese described by Turczaninow. {Bull. Phys. Math. Acad. 

 Sc. ^t. PStersb., p. 321, 1852.) 



Mueller (" Eucalyptographia," also Fragm., viii, 184) simply gives E. ealy- 

 eogona, Turcz., and E. eelastroides, Turcz., as synonyms of E. gracilis, F.v.M., but 

 makes no reference in the text to them, the date of publication of Turczaninow's 

 species being presumably unknown to him. (See p. 77.) 



Following is the original description of E. eelastroides, Turcz. : — 



50. Eucalyptus c.elastrnides (Drum. 5, n. 34). E. glabra ; ramis teretibus supernc subangulatis ; 

 foliis alternis lineari-lanceolatis utrinque attenuatis abrupte et breviter acutninatis subinaequilateris,
