9. E. Kitsoni, J. G. Luehmann. 



In the globular head of fruits and in the shape and sculpture of individual 

 fruits this species shows undoubted resemblance to E. incrassata, var. conglobata. 



10. E. Planchoniana, F.v.M. 



E. Planchoniana approaches in some of its characteristics E. incrassata, but irrespective of its not 

 belonging to the desert country, it is a comparatively tall tree, the leaves are longer, not so shining, have 

 more spreading, more distant, and more prominent veins, and their stomata only on the lower page ; the 

 tube of the calyx is less turgid, the lid more gradually attenuated upwards ; the anthers are never elongated 

 to an oblong form ; the outer stamens are not bent downwards while in bud, but are somewhat flexuous ; 

 the valves of the fruit are not narrowly attenuated at their apex, and the fertile seeds are more angular. — 

 ( Euealyptographia, under E. incrassata.) 



Mueller is alluding to the coarse-fruited form (var. angulosa) of E. incrassata. 

 Undoubtedly the buds, fruits, and flattened foot-stalks present considerable similarity 

 to each other. The anthers are of course different and the leaves of E. Planchoniana 

 are longer and more falcate, usually thinner and of quite a different colour. E. 

 Planchoniana is a small timber tree with pale timber. 



11. E. eosinophylic!, P.v.M. 



To this smooth-fruited variety approaches very closely E. cosmophylla, from the stringy-bark tree 

 forests of the mountains of St. Vincent Gulf, which species shows, however, more pointed, generally 

 broader, and less shining leaves, with more visible veins, the flowers less in number and on a shorter 

 common stalk, and rather an increase in the number of fruit-valves. — (Euealyptographia, under E. 

 incrassata. ) 



I do not call to mind a smooth-fruited form of E. incrassata with fruits as 

 large as those of cosmophylla; still there is a certain amount of superficial 

 resemblance between the foliage and early fruit of E. cosmophylla and that of the 

 large-fruited form of E. incrassata. 



12. E. gomphoeephala, DC. 



Sjoeaking of E. dumosa, var. scyphocalyx, Bentham remarks, " This 

 approaches in some measure E. gomphoeephala.'''' (B.n. iii, 230.) 



The swollen operculum and the more open-mouthed fruit of E. gompho' 

 cephala are sufficient to separate the two species ; at the same time, in foliage, 

 flowers, &c, there is a likeness between the two plants which is obvious.
