 PLATE 30. 



E. amygdalina, LabilL, var. numerosa, var. vel sp. nov. (and allies). 



la. Juvenile leaves; 16, mature leaves; lc, heads of buds; Id, anthers; le, fruits of E. amygdalina, 

 Labill., var. numerosa, Maiden, from Hilltop, near Mittagong, New South Wales. (See p. 155.) 



2. Facsimile of part of drawing of DC, Mem. Myrt., t. 7. The original is a specimen of E. radiata, 

 Sieb., quoted in the Prodomus as PL Exs., No. 425. Another specimen (PL Mixta, No. 604) is 

 figured as No. 6 on Plate 29. 



3a. Leaf and 36, fruits of E. amygdalina, with leaves broader than the type, and very small fruits. 

 Lilydale, Victoria (A. W. Howitt). 



4a. Leaf and 46, fruits of a form of E. amygdalina, with small fruits, and especially broad leaves. 

 Darlimurla, Victoria (H. Deane). This form undoubtedly shows affinity to var. numerosa. 



E. linearis, Dehnh. 



5a. Twig of typical E. linearis, Dehnh. (Hort. Carnald., in Herb. Vindob.) ; 56, fruits from a cultivated 

 tree (now dead) growing in the Domain, Melbourne. 



PLATE 31. 



E. amygdalina, LabilL. var. nitida, Benth. (and allies). 



\a. Twig in flower : 16 and lc, heads of fruit, all of " 808 (?) Gunn, Currie's River." [N.B.— The note of 

 interrogation is in Gunn's handwriting, and is thus quoted by Hooker in PL, Tas.] These 

 specimens are typical for E. nitida, Hook., f. ; and for Bentham's var. nitida. See p. 162). 



2. Drawn from a specimen in W. H. Archer's herbarium, labelled " E. radiata. Hooker," var. 5. (See 

 p. 162.) In this specimen the operculum is more conical than in typical nitida. 



3a. Leaf ; 36, buds ; 3c, fruits; 3</, anthers; of Gunn's 1,078, from " Risdon, river-side;" very near 

 typical nitida. 



4a. Leaf, with buds and flowers ; 46, fruits, of var. nitida, from Mount Victoria, New South Wales. 

 (J.H.M.) (See p. 163.) 



5a. Juvenile leaves ; 56, mature leaf ; 5c, fruits, of a tree from Jenolan Caves, New South Wales 

 (\Y. F. Blakeley) ; nearest to var. nitida. (See p. 163.) 



6a. Leaves ; 66, buds ; 6c, fruits of a form from Monga, near Moruya (W. Baeuerlen) ; near var. nitida, 

 but reminiscent of E. stellulata, Sieb. (See p. 163.) 



PLATE 32. 



la. Twig of typical E. Risdoni, from Beltana, Hobart (quite close to Risdon Cove); 16, front and back 

 view of anthers ; lc, fruits ; \d and le, leaves taken from the same tree from which la was taken ! 

 It will lie observed that \d and lc differ in no way from ordinary leaves of E. Risdoni, var. 

 elato. (See p. 175.) 



2a. Twig, bearing flowers ; ih. twig, bearing fruits; 2c. pair of fruits, of E. Risdoni, Hook, f., var. elata, 

 Benth. ; 1.110, Gunn (partiin). (See pp. 176, 17s.) 



3a, 36, 3c, leaves; 3d, flowers; 3e, 3;", 3g, fruits of E. obliqua, L'Herit, var. alpina, Maiden (E. deleaatem-is, 

 R. T. Baker), the "Gum-top Stringybark," 1,110, Gunn (partim). The fact that specimens of 

 two Eucalypts, very similar in appearance, have been distributed as 1,100, Gunn, and an account 

 of the confusion which has arisen in consequence, is related for the first time at p. 178.
