9. E. Kitsoni, J. G. Luelimanu. 



In the g'lobular head of fruits and in the shape and sculpture of individual 

 fruifs this species shows undoubted resemblance to E. incrassata, var. conrilohata. 



10. E. Planchoniana, F.v.M. 



E. Flanchoniana approaches in some of its characteristics E. incrassala, but irrespective of its not 

 belonging to the desert country, it is a comparatively tall tree, the leaves are longer, not so shining, have 

 more sj)reading, more distant, and more prominent veins, and their stomata only on the lower page ; the 

 tulje of the calyx is less turgid, the lid more gradually attenuated upwards ; the anthers are never elongated 

 to an nblong form ; the outer stamens are not bent downwards while in bud, but are somewhat flexuous ; 

 the valves of the fruit are not narrowly attenuated at their apex, and the fertile seeds are more angular. — 

 (Rucalyptogriiphia, under E. inrrassafa.) 



Mueller is alluding to the coarse-fruited form (var. aiiffidosa) of E. incrassata. 

 Undoubtedly the buds, fruits, and flattened foot-stalks present considerable similarity 

 to each other. The anthers are of course different and the leaves of E. Planchoniana 

 arc longer and more falcate, usually thinner and of quite a different colour; E. 

 Planchoniana is a small timber tree with pale timber. 



11. E. cosmoplujUa, F.v.M. 



'I'o tills siiiiioth-fruited variety apjiroaclies very closely E. casmo/ihi/llii, from the stringy-bark tree 

 forests of the mountains of St. Vincent Gulf, which species shows, however, more pointed, generally 

 broader, and less shining leaves, with more ^■isible veins, the tlowers less in number and on a shorter 

 connuon stalk, and rather an increase in the number of fruit-valves. — (Eucalyptographia, under E. 

 mi'rasfala.) 



I do not call to mind a smooth-fruited form of E. incrassala with fruits as 

 large as those of cosmopliylla ; still tliere is a certain amount of superficial 

 resemblance between the foliage and early fruit of E. cosniophylla and that of the 

 large-fruited form of E. incrassata, 



12. E. gomphocephala, DC. 



Speaking of E. dnmosa, var. scyphocalyx, Beiitham remarks, " This 

 approaches in some measure E. (jomphocephala." (B.IT. iii, 230.) 



The swollen o})erculum and the more open-mouthed fruit of E. (jovipho- 

 cophala arc sufTicient to se])aratc the two species ; at the same time, in foliage, 

 flowers, Sic, there is a lik(Miess between the two plants wliieh is ol)vious.
