DESCRIPTION. ' 



Q. — E. (?) nervosa Newberry. 



Op. cit., p. 112, with Plate xxxii, figs. 3, 4, 5, 8. 



Following is the original description : — 



Leaves long-linear, rounded or subacute at summit, narrowed and wedge-shaped at base, 15 cm. 

 in length by 1 cm. in width, margins entire ; nervation strong, crowded, midrib continuous from base 

 to summit, lateral nerves very numerous, generally parallel and uniting to form a continuous nerve- 

 thread near to and parallel with the margin. 



The general aspect of these leaves is peculiar. The style of nervation is similar to that of all the 

 elongated, lanceolate, or linear leaves which I have grouped provisionally in the genus Eucalyptus , but in 

 this species the nervation is much more crowded, and the union of the summits of the lateral nerves forms 

 a more straight and continuous nerve-thread. 



Locality.— South Amboy. (Op. cit., p. 112.) 



DESCRIPTION. 



R.—E. (?) parvifolia Newberry. 



With PL xxxii, figs. 9, 10. 



Following is the original description : — ■ 



Leaves small, about 5 cm. to 6 cm. in length by 12 mm. to 15 mm. wide in the middle, strictly 

 lanceolate in form, pointed above and below, margins entire; nervation rather delicate and open, lateral 

 nerves more or less numerous united in a festoon somewhat removed from the margin. 



The leaves described above may be but one of the varieties of E. Gcinitzi, but they are so decidedly 

 lanceolate in outline, so much broader in proportion to their length, and so much smaller, that I have felt 

 constrained to consider them distinct. The characters of the form and nervation exhibited by these leaves 

 are well shown in the figures now given. 



Locality. — South Amboy. (Of. cit.. p. 112.) 



(There is an E. parvifolia Cambage, see Part XXV, p. 88, of the present work, 

 which, in my opinion, must stand, as the E. (?) parvifolia Newberry is, in my view, 

 not a Eucalypt at all.— J.H.M.)
