NOTES ON THE SYNONYMS. 



1. E. santalifolia, F.v.M. 



Following is the original de.scription : — 



Friiticose : leaves alternate, coriaceous, glaucescent, opaque, obloug-Ianceolate, hooked-acuminate, a 

 little oblique, thinly veined, hardlj' (lotted ; umbels axillary and terminal, pedunculate, cupitate ; lid 

 depressed-conical or hemispherical ; tube of the calyx obconical, bell shaped, nearly three times longer than 

 the lid : fruit not contracted at the top ; valves of the capsule enclosed. 



In th:; Mallee scrub on the Murray River, on St. Vincent's and Spencer's Gulfs. — {Trans. Vict. Inst., 

 i. 35, 1855.) 



Then comes Miquel's description of Mueller's specimens in the following 

 year : — 



21. Evrcahjpt.ug gantalifvlia, Ferd. Miill. : subarborescens, ramulis angulatis junioribus \-iriduli.s, 

 foliis anguste lanceolatis acumine rccurvo terminatis crasse coriaceis glaucis, \enis erectopatulis numerosis 

 fere obte -tis, pedunculis axillarilnis 3-5 flori.s, floribus sessilibus, (■alycis tubo ovoideo-obconico, operculo 

 brevi hemisphaerico subapiculato, antheris subglobosis. 



.ranuario et Febr. florens. Crescit trans rivum Salts-creek (Dr. Behr.). Marl)l<>-range, Port 

 Lincoln.— (F. Miill). Miq. in AW. Kruidk. Arch., iv. 133, 1856. 



2. E. dumosa, Bonth. non. A. Cunn. 



According toBentham (B.Fl. iii, 23^)), Miquel's plant is E. dumosa, X. Cunn.: 

 but Mueller (" Eucalyptograpliia") is not, of that opinion. 



Bentham further states : — 

 "The large fruited specimens, originally sent by F. Mueller and described bj- Miquel as 

 K. n ant nli folia, belong to a distinct specie.s of the Renantherse, for which I have retained the, name," — • 

 (K.l"'l. iii, "217, under K. rHPori.folia.)
