■i. E. Mahogani, F.v.M. Froi/m. ii, 41 (18(50). 



Kalgan lliver, Oldfield. Leaves rather thick. 



I have examined types of all of the above. 



Druniinond's 85 (5th Coll. ? ) has rather broad leaves and is in flower only. 



Drummond's 185 (5th) " Swan E-iver to Cape lliche " has small leaves, shiny 

 and coriaceous. 



The original pronunciation of the well-known name " Jarrah " is " Yarrah." 



IMueller quotes Augustus Gregory as giving " Jerrile " as the aboriginal 

 name; Dr. A. Morrison gives another, viz., " Alaalock." Two other species have 

 been sent to me from Western Australia under the latter name. 



The thickened margin of the leaf affords a useful diagnostic character, but it 

 is not an infallible guide. 



The seedling leaves are rcmarkaljle and have not been previously described. 

 Mr. A. G. Hamilton collected the specimen figured (fig. 1, pi. 40) at "Woodlupin 

 Creek, W.A. 



The cotyledon leaves are nearly reuiform, and when dried arc l.^^ inch in 

 greatest width ; Avidth of the lamina from the attachment of the petiole continued 

 until the margin of the lamina is reached is 1 iach ; length of petiole ^ inch. The 

 cotyledon-leaves and intermediate leaves are glandular — hairy with reddish hairs, 

 lanceolate, and the bases of the lamina CDmes below the point of attachment of the 

 petiole to the lamina. 



One of the best known of Australian timber-trees, partly because it is more 

 gregarious than those of most other species of the Australian States. It is a very 

 valuable asset of the Western State, and one of which she can reasonably be 

 very proud. 



The l)ark is rough, not a true Stringybark, but while fibrous it is flaky, 

 farrowed, and somewhat dense in texture. 



It is a species with a Avide range in Western Australia, and I have nothing to 

 add to the range indicated in " Eucalyptographia."
