314 THE FLORA OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY.

The Northern Territory is rich in Corymbosae, but as I have not revised 

 this section for my Critical Revision, I will postpone consideration of it.

Juvenile leaves of this species have been received from Darwin from Dr. 

 Jensen (July, 1916), and have not hitherto been described. I proceed to 

 describe them. 



The branchlets are markedly quadrangular, and, like the leaves, are en- 

 tirely glabrous or very slightly glaucous, and equally green on both sides. 

 They are large, obUque or falcate, very acuminate \\\\h prominent purplish 

 midribs, raised chiefly on the lower sides of the leaves. 



Secondary veins very distinct, taut fine, roughly parallel, and making an 

 angle of about 60 degrees with the midrib. The intramarginal vein is at a 

 considerable distance from the edge. 



A not uncommon size of the lamina is 25 cm. (say 10 inches) long and 13 

 cm. (say 5 inches) broad, with a petiole of 1.5 cm. Still in the opposite stage 

 they may be half the width. 



The basis of our knowledge of the Eucalypts of the Northern Territory is 

 Mueller's " Monograph of the Eucalypti of Tropical Australia,"* which, however, 

 includes cognizance of some North and South Queensland species. 



The species enumerated for the Territory in the above work are (in the 

 order given) : — 



1. E. rostrata, Schlecht. (Leichhardt's Overland Expedition). 



2. E. brevifolia, F. v. M. (Victoria River and Sturt's Creek, Arn- 



hem's Land and Gulf of Carpentaria). [Synonym of E. 

 microtheca, F.v. M. 



3. E. patellaris, F.v. .M (Roper River). 



4. E. tessellaris, F. v. M . (Gulf of Carpentaria). 



5. E. polycarpa, F. v. M. (Intra -tropical Ne« Holland). [Possibly 



a form of E. terminalis, but I suspend my judgment.] 



5. E. terminalis, F.v. M. (" Intra-tropical New Holland "). 



6. E. dichromophloia, F. r. M. (" Intra-tropical New Holland "). 



7. E. ptychocarpa, F. v. M (Sources of the Rivers Wentworth, 



Wickham, Limmen Bight).
