 deltoid red valves impressed . . . . , E. erythrocorys.

E. miniata. E. salmonophloia. 



E. phcenicea. 



Illustrations. 



In the present work figures will be found illustrating the rims of all the species 

 enumerated above, together with a number of additional ones. It seems therefore 

 unnecessary to make a further descriptive list, with modified verbiage perhaps, of rims 

 of fruits. 



Colour of Rim. 



There is a limited amount of variation observable in the rim in a number of 

 species. In some it appears to be variable, but these colour notes have not been 

 systematically recorded, so far as I am aware. The reddish colour of the rim in 

 E. hcemastoma was early noted, and gave the specific name. We find that it is a useful 

 character to this day. Other species have fruits with coloured rims, usually reddish- 

 brown, e.g., E. dives, E. eugenioides, E. capitellata. It is one of the points that might 

 be looked into by the young student, for Eucalyptus is a vast subject, and offers 

 miscellaneous fields for inquiry, of varying degrees of importance.
