NOTES ON THE SYNONYMS. 



1. E. santalifolia, F.v.M. 



Following is the original description : — 



Frnticose ; leaves alternate, coriaceous, glaucescent, opaque, oblong-lanceolate, hooked-acuminate, a 

 little oblique, thinly veined, hardly Hotted; umbels axillary and terminal, pedunculate, capitate; lid 

 depressed-conical or hemispherical ; tube of the ualyx obconical, bell shaped, nearly three times longer than 

 the lid ; fruit not contracted at the top ; valves of the capsule enclosed. 



In th-, Mallee scrub on the Murray Kivsr, on St. Vincent's and Spencer's Gulfs. — {Trans. Vict. Inst., 

 i, 35, 1855.) 



Then comes Miquel's description of Mueller's specimens in the following 

 year : — 



21. Eucalyptus santalifolia, Ferd. Mull. : subarborescens, ramulis angulatis junioribus viridulis, 

 foliis anguste lanceolatis acumine recurvo terminatis crasse coriaceis glaucis, \enis erectopatulis numerosis 

 fere obte -tis, pedunculis axillaribus 3-5 floris, floribus sessilibus, calycis tubo ovoideo-obconico, operculo 

 brevi hemisphaerico subapiculato, antheris subglobosis. 



•Tanuario et Febr. florens. Crescit trans rivum Salts-creek (Dr. Behr.). Marble-range, Port 

 Lincoln.— (F. Mull.). Miq. in Ned. Kruidk. Arch., iv, 133, 1856. 



2. E. dumosa, Benth. non. A. Cunn. 



According to Bentham (B.F1. iii, 23^), Miquel's plant is E. dumosa, A. Cunn. : 

 hut Mueller (" Eucalyptographia") is not of that opinion. 



Bentham further states : — 

 " The large fruited specimens, originally sent by F. Mueller and described by Miquel as 

 E. santalifolia, belong to a distinct species of the Renantherse, for which I have retained the name." — . 

 fB.Fl. iii, 217, under E. eneorifolia.)
