I am eiigaged in a critical examiDation of every described species of 

 the proteau geuus Eucalyptus, prior to the publicatiou of a compre- 

 hensive monogi-aph Avhich will be illustrated by drawiogs of the types, 

 aiid of selected aberrant forms. I beg to offer an account of two closely 

 allied species. 



E. tereticornis Sm. 



Trans. Linn. Soc. IIl, 284 (1797). 



Bot. N. Holl. 41-2. 



The original description is as follows. 



« Eucalyptus tereticornis, operculo conico tereti lajvissimo calyce 

 triplo longiori, umbellis lateralibus solitariis. 



Lid conical, round, very smooth, thrice as long as the calyx. Umbels 

 lateral, solitary. 



The lid of this species is remarkably smooth and polished, not 

 wrinkled even in the dry .'spécimen ; it often breaks off a little above 

 the base, leaving its thin lower part like a loose ring round the calyx. 

 The leaves are lanceolate »,
