DESCRIPTION, 



CCCXXXV. E. angulosa Schauer. 



The description has been already given in the original Latin at Part IV, p. 101 of the 

 present work, and the following translation is offered : — ■ 



Branchlets angular; leaves firm, stiff, lanceolate or oblong lanceolate, narrowed into the petiole, 

 from the base gradually tapering into a point or shortly acuminate, very smooth and shining on both sides, 

 imperforate; heads axillary, about 5-flowered ; peduncle very much compressed, short; mature buds 

 obovate, ridges about ten, raised, unequal, ribbed, shining; operculum coriaceous, hemispherical, obtuse 

 or somewhat acute, cupula obconical, a little broader and shorter. Leaf blades 3— 4J inches long, 9-12 lines 

 broad, petiole 6-9 lines long; mature buds with thick continued pedicel, about 5 lines long, operculum 

 almost 3 lines long. 



Species very remarkable, near E. dumosa, with some affinity with E. gomphocephala. 



I haVe long been of opinion that it should be recognised as a species. See under 

 " Synonyms." 



Illustrations. — It is adequately illustrated, as E. inorassata var. angulosa, in 

 Plate, 14, Part IV, of the present work. 



SYNONYMS. 



E. costafa R.Br, and others. 



These are given at Part IV, pp. 101. 102. of the present work, the list of which, 

 and copious notes, need not be repeated. 



E. angulosa Schauer is included in E. inorassata Labill. var. angulosa Benth. 

 (B.FL, iii, 231), but the E. Muelleri Miq. there cited is not a synonym of E. angulosa, 

 but of E. dumosa, as pointed out in Part IV, pp. 96, 100, of the present work. 



In "Research on the Eucalypts," 2nd ed., p. 159 (192)), Messrs. Baker and 

 Smith restore E. costata R.Br. If my readers will turn to Part IV of the present work, 

 p. 102 (1904), they will see that I have dealt with E. costata, which was nomen nudum 

 from the time that Robert Brown collected it in 1802 (p. 103), until Mueller revived 

 it in 1855 (p. 102). E. costata cannot, therefore, supersede E. angulosa Schauer, given 

 and fully described in 1843 (p. 101), as Messrs. Baker and Smith propose to do.
