In Part XIV, p. 1-43, speaking of E. uncinata, I state : ' The anthers are not 

 terminal-truncate like those of E. melliodora, paniculate, and others, but (see Fig. lb, 

 Plate 62) of -an allied and peculiar shape, for which I propose the name semi- truncate." 

 On further consideration I find the anthers of E. uncinata are nob really different from 

 those of the remainder of the Term in ales. 



Bentham therefore uses the words '* truncate " and " terminal " in regard to 

 such anthers, preferring the word terminal, which led me to adopt the term 

 " Terminales " in the year 1916. 



E. polyanthemos. — ■" .... Anthers small, with globular distinct cells, 

 opening in round pores." (B.Fl. iii, 214.) He makes no mention of truncate or terminal. 

 They are, however, referred to as "truncated" in ''Eucalyptographia." McClatchie 

 (Kinney) refers to them as " Anthers truncated, opening at the summit," but includes 

 them in his Porantherse. 



Mueller, neither in his " Eucalyptographia," nor in any other work, appears 

 to have decided upon a name for this class of anther. Indeed, he includes it in his 

 Porantherse. and refers to the anthers of various species in different forms of words. 

 I will begin with those species already dealt with by Bentham, giving both shape and 

 dehiscence. 



E. leucoxylon. — "Very minute, nearly as broad as long, upwards dilated; 

 opening towards the summit with short slits." 



E. melliodora — " Very minute, nearly as broad as long, upwards dilated ; 

 opening near the summit with pores or short slits." 



E. paniculata. — " Minute, quadrangular-roundish ; opening with pores at the 

 truncated summit." (The " Eucalyptographia " plates of the last two species do 

 not, however, show terminal pores as indicated.) Then we have — 



E. polyanthemos. — "Truncated; opening by terminal pores." (They are so 

 figured.) 



E. uncinata. — " Opening towards the summit with lateral pores." (He has 

 figured them with what I may term north-west and north-east pores.) 



He mistakenly adds E. goniocalyx in the following passage : " Almost oval, 

 upwards slightly dilated, and at the summit truncated," but there must be some 

 misapprehension, for the figure shows the anther to be Macrantherse, where it properly 

 belongs. 



1895.— A. J. McClatchie, in Abbot Kinney's " Eucalyptus," describes 

 E. leucoxylon, E. melliodora, and E. paniculata as with anthers truncated, opening 

 at the summit. 



Under E. sideroxylon at Part XII, p. 83 of the present work, I have published 

 a note on " Anthers with terminal pores."
