Van Diemen's Land (Stuart, n. 11, p. IG). 



Ramuli fusculi. Petioli tenues subsemipoWicares. Folia 3-5, vulgo ih poll, longa, -1-7 lin. lata, 

 nunc glauco-pruinosa. Pedunculi subsemipollicares. Alabastra clavata. Calycis tubus fere 3 lin. longus. 



(P. 129.) Species venis adscendentibus (p. 129) a plurimus diagnoscenda. Anne cum E. uncinata,

E. tenuiramis, Miq., is described in Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv, 128 (1856) from 

 Tasmanian specimens (" Stuart No. 11, p. 16," sic). I have examined the type 

 specimen (" unicum in Miquel's handwriting ") in Herb., Melb. E. tenuiramis, 

 Miq., "Van Diemen's Land, C. Stuart." It has broadish leaves with thickened 

 margins, is in flower, without buds or fruit. I cannot see any diffei'ence between 

 this specimen and R. Gunn's No. 1,112 (see Fl. Tas.). 



E. ligustrina, DC, surmised by Bentham (B.Fl. iii, -iOS) as probably 

 ami/gdalina, is, in my opinion, a form of E. eugenoides, Sieb. It will be dealt with in 

 due course. 



Variety immerosa, var. iiov. 



(vel. E. numerosa, sp. nov.) 

 In allusion to the very large number of flowers in the umbel. 



12. E. amijgdalina, Labill., var. radiata, Benth. • 



In the Catalogue of Indigenous Woods of the southern districts of New South 

 Wales, prepared by the late Sir William Macarthur for the Paris Exhibition, 1855, 

 we have, under No. 109 : — 



Eucalyptus radiata, (?) "Kayer-ro," "River Gum of Camden." A small, quick-growing .species, 

 very elegant when in blossom ; is found only on the immediate sandy banks of rivers ; the wood of no value ; 

 the inner bark used for tying grafts, and other similar common purposes. Height, 30 to 50 feet; diameter, 

 12 to 18 inches. 



The name was supplied by Kew, and it will be observed that it was doulitfully 

 referred to E. radiata. 



In the Flora Aufitraliensis, as I have already pointed out, Bentham included 

 it with some other trees under his variety radiata of (Dnijgdalina. 



It is the tree included by Mueller under E. amijgdalina in " Eucalypto- 

 graphia," where, quoting Ilowitt, he speaks of the " Wang-gnara " of Gippsland. 

 Subsequently Howitt refers to the tree* in some detail. 



It was figured and descril)ed by Deane and Maiden,t as var radiata, Benth. 



The Rev. Dr. Woolls, Froc. Linn. Soc. N.S. W., v. 448, and on other occasions, 

 protested against E. radiata, Sieb. (as he understood the species) being merged in
