 name in Hooker's handwriting. 



Eucalyptus elatus, H. f. — Trunk erect, branching at top, only 140 feet high, 3,000 ft. alt. Dee tier 

 very large tree, many dead. 



The fruits are not ripe, but the plant is E. obliqua, L'Herit., as so noted in 



Herb. Kew.

177. Eucalyptus fabrorum, Schldl. — Rami rigidi, ut reliquae partes glabri, ultimi angulati, aetate 

 provectiores teretes cortice fusco. Umbellae brevissime pedunculatae in axillis foliorum inferiorum 

 annotinorum, nee non in apicibus ramulorum hornotinorum paniculam brevem, ex umbellulis paucis, una 

 scilicet terminali, reliquis oppositis brevissime pedunculatis aphyllis (foliis cito deciduis) compositam, 

 formant. [Pedunculus communis 1-2 lin. longus crassus, 3-7 flores brevissime crasseque pedicellatos, 

 pedicellis i lin. longis, ferens. Folia oblonga (c. petiolo 3-6 lin. longo, 4-6 poll, longa, 6-10 lin. inferne 

 lata), ex inferiore paullo latiore in ipsa basi acuta parte sensim angustata, atque in acumen attenuatum 

 acutum producta, inaequilatera, leviter falcatim curvata, crasse coriacea, obscure pellucide punctata vel 

 impunctata, nervo medio utrinque et margine crassiusculo prominente et simul pallidius, vel ex rubro

The description in Walpers' Annates Eotanices Systematica?, i, 309, has the 

 above portion [ ] (my brackets) omitted. 



E. fabrorum, Schlecbt. is referred by E. Mueller to E. obliqua, owing to the 

 author's stating it to be the " Stringybark of the Colonists, and very possibly some 

 of Behr's specimens many be of that species ; but the only authentic one I have 

 seen in a perfect state is evidently E. viminalis. — (B. Fl. hi, 205.) 



The following specimens, however, show that Mueller's view is correct : — 



1. "Eucalyptus fabrorum, Schlecbt. Lofty llanges (S. A.) Eerd. Muller 



Pharrn. Gaud." (1847 or 1818.) 



2. " Plantas Miillerianae, Eucalyptus fabrorum, Schlecbt. Nov. Holland 



Meridional." 



3. "Eucalyptus fabrorum, Schlecht. Adelaide, Dr. E. Mueller, Herbar. W. 



Sonder." 



I have seen all these specimens, which are identical, and all are E. obliqua. 

 No. 2 was the specimen examined by Miquel for his paper in Ned. Kruidk. Arch., iv. 



e These brackets [ J hare been inserted by me.
