Ramuli fusculi. Petioli tenues subsemipollicares. Folia 3-5, vulgo 4 -J poll, longa, 4-7 lin. lata, 

 nunc glauoo-pruinosa. Pedunculi subsemipollicares. Alabastra clavata. Calycis tubus fere 3 lin. longus.

E. tenuiramis, Miq., is described in Ned. Krnidk. Arch, iv, 128 (1856) from 

 Tasmania n specimens (" Stuart No. 11, p. 16," sic). I have examined the type 

 specimen (" unicum in Miquel's handwriting ") in Herb., Melb. E. tenuiramis, 

 Miq., " Van Diemen's Land, C. Stuart." It has broadish leaves with thickened 

 margins, is in flower, without buds or fruit. I cannot see any difference between 

 this specimen and R. Gunn's No. 1,112 (see Ft. Tas.). 



E. ligustrina, DC, surmised by Bentham (B.F1. iii, 203) as probably 

 amygdalina, is, in my opinion, a form of E. eugenoides, Sieb. It will be dealt with in 

 due course. 



Variety numerosa, var. nov. 



(vel. E. numerosa, sp. nov.) 

 In allusion to the very large number of flowers in the umbel. 



12. E. amygdalina, Labill., var. radiata, Benth. 



In the Catalogue of Indigenous Woods of the southern districts of New South 



Wales, prepai-ed by the late Sir William Macarthur for the Paris Exhibition, 1855, 



we have, under No. 109 : — 



Eucalyptus radiata, (1) "Kayer-ro," "River Gum of Camden." A small, quick-growing species, 

 very elegant when in blossom; is found only on the immediate sandy banks of rivers ; the wood of no value ; 

 the inner bark used for tying grafts, and other similar common purposes. Height, 30 to 50 feet; diameter, 

 12 to 18 inches. 



The name was supplied by Kew, and it will be observed that it was doubtfully 

 referred to E. radiata. 



In the Flora Australiensis, as I have already pointed out, Bentham included 

 it with some other trees under his variety radiata of amygdalina. 



It is the tree included by Mueller under E. amygdalina in " Eucalypto- 

 graphia," where, quoting Howitt, he speaks of the " Wang-gnara " of Gippsland. 

 Subsequently Howitt refers to the tree* in some detail. 



It was figured and described by Deane and Maiden, f as var radiata, Benth. 



The Rev. Dr. Woolls, Froc. Linn. Soc. N.S. W., v. 418, and on other occasions, 

 protested against E. radiata, Sieb. (as he understood the species) being merged in 



* "The Eucalypts of Gipp3land." Trans. Roy. Soc. V , Vol. ii, Pt. i, p. 86, and Plate 10, fig. 1-5.
