1. E. scahra, Dum-Cours. 



Following is the original description : — 



E. i\ feuilles rudes, E. scahra, Hort. Angl.-Cette espece me paroit etre line des plus belles de ce 

 genre, du moins relativemeut a son feuillage. Ses feuilles spat ovales, trfis entieres, terminees par une 

 pointe partieuliere, relev^es en-dessous de nervures paralltdes qui s' arrondissent, en s' anastouiosant a une 

 ligne environ des bords, fermes, un peu rudes au touchei-, d'un beau vert, longues de 9 centimetres 

 (.3 pouces et demi), larges de 5 cent, et demi (2 pouces). Lieu id. Toujours vert. Cult. Orangerie. 

 Celle des autres e.speces et des plantes de la Nouvelle-Hollande. 



De toutes les especes de ce genre, il n 'y a que celles qui sonfc noramees E. resini/era et ohliqua qui 

 aient encore fleuri en France et en Angleterre. — (Dum-Cours. Bot. Cult. ed. 2, vol. 7, p. 279, 280). 



We then find Sieber's No. 479 (the type of B. cugeniokles) placed under the 

 same name, in tha following words : — 



E. scahra (Dum-Cours, bot. cult. 7, p. 280) operculo subconico cupula paulo breviore, podunculis 

 axillaribus angulato-conipressis petiole tequalibus aut longioribus, floribus capitatis, foliis lanceolatis basi 

 inajqualibus ramorum sterilium crispis, fertilium planis, saepe novellis cum ramis vclutinis. In No\a- 

 HoUandia. E. eugenloides, Sieb. ! plant, c.xs. nov.-holl., n. 479. — (DC. Prod, iii, 218.) 



Specimens referred to, Sieber's No. 479, and named E. scahra, Dum-Cours, 

 are precisely matched by many specimens in the National Ilerbarlum, Sydney, e.g., 

 Wyec (A. Murphy). 



2. E. penicillata, Hort. 



E. jKiiiciUatu, hortul. Eaniuli et folia pilos breves fasciculatim congebtos gerunt, demum glabra 

 evadunt, interdum glabra nascuntur. Petioli 4 lin. longi. Folia basi iuiequalia ovali — aut oblongo — 

 lanceolata acuminata. Pedunculi in specim. Sieberiano petiole requales 4-.5 fieri, in specim. culto 

 Nois.settiano petiolo duplo longiores 1-5-20 flori (given as a synonym of E. seabra in DC. I'rod. iii, 2 IS). 



3. E. aeervula, Sieb, (Sieb. plant, exs. nov.-lioll., n. 469). 



Operculo conico capsulre longitudine, pedunculis lateralibus petiolo brevioribus pedicellisque ancipi- 

 tibu.s, foliis ovato -lanceolatis basi bine valde excisa obliquis apice acuminatis. In Nova-Hollandia. Fulii 

 petiolus .3-7 lin. longus, lamina 4-.5 poll, longa pollicem lata. Pedunculi 4 lin. Icmgi omnes in ninii-* infra 

 folio orti. Umbellre 5-10 ilone. Floruni alabastra 3 lin. longa. — (DC. Proil. iii, 217.) 



All the specimens of Sieber's No. 4G9 that I have seen are in mature foliage 

 and bud. I cannot separate them from Sieber's No. 479 ; in fact, they might have 

 been taken from the same tree. 



" 31. Eucalyptus aeervula, Sieb. — DC. I.e. 217, n. 10, Mem. Myrtac. Polia in 

 supp. paullo latiora. Swampy plains towards the Plenty-range (F. Midler)" (Miquel 

 in Ned. Kru'ulk. Arch, iv, 137, 1850). I have not seen this Victorian specimen.
