DESCRIPTION. 



CCCXXIV. E. prcecorlacea Deane. 



In Bee. Geol Surv. Vict., vol. i. Part I. p. 20 ; with Plate ii (1902). 

 Following is the original description : — 



The figure shows portions of branchlets with leaves attached. Branchlets evidently angular. 

 Leaves almost sessile, lanceolate, falcate, probably 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide, tapered at the base 

 into a short petiole. The venation consists of several veins disposed longitudinally.no one of which can 

 be said to form a midrib. Some of these veins are more conspicuous than the others. 



The author adds : — "' There are three types which naturally suggest themselves as possessing leaves 

 with parallel veins, as shown in the figure, namely the phyllodineous Acacia, some of the Hakecu, like 

 H. dactyloides Cav., and Eucalyptus coriacea A. C'unn." He decides that it is a Euealypt and places 

 it near coriacea. " The fossil leaves are very oblique at the base, they have numerous parallel veins, 

 without any, or much sign of any, anastomosing veins between them. The Hakea and Acacia leaves 

 nearest in character are not oblique at the base, and the anastomosing veins are rather a feature. 

 I am, therefore, of opinion that we have a branchlet here of a species of Eucalyptus of the group 

 Reuantherea?, and allied to E. coriacea."
