NOTES ON THE SYNONYMS. 



1. E. discolor, Desf. 



Following is the original description : — 



" Eucalyptus discolor. Ramulis teretibus, purpureis ; foliis oppositis, sessilibus, connatis, lato- 

 lanceolatis, aouminatis, subtus glaucis." (Desf., Cat. PI. Sort., Ed. 3, 1829, p. 408.) Tabl. Ed., ii, 198 

 (name only). 



I have recently seen a specimen belonging to the Vienna Herbarium. 

 Following is the label : — 



" Eucalyptus discolor, Desf. In Spreng. syst. deest. ex horto Baris, 1820." 

 In leaf only. I agree with Bentham that it is doubtful ; but it resembles E. pilularis, 

 Sm., a good deal, and I think it is that species. (See Fig. 1, Bl. 3.) 



2. E. persieifolia, Lodd. 



Bentham (B.FL, hi, 240) states that K persieifolia, Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 501, 

 " from the figure," is E. viminalis. If his surmise is correct, he refers to var. 

 pedicellaris, F.y.M., which is multi-flowered. 



But De Candolle (who doubtless saw Loddiges' specimens) referred them to 

 Sieber's Nos. 593 and 477, which I have dealt with below, p. 32. 



E. persieifolia, Miq., is E. Gunnii, Hook, f . var. acervula, Deane and Maiden.
