Grampians, 2,000 feet, Victoria (H. B. "Williamson). These specimens, as 

 regards the broad leaves and fruits, are very similar to the coastal Victorian form, 

 but the buds (both calyx and operculum) are markedly rugose. Specimens also 

 from the Grampians (C. Walter) have narrower leaves (nearer the type). The 

 fruits are more pear-shaped, but there were only three in the umbel, and they are 

 not much compressed. The specimens do not really differ from the preceding. 



Darlimurla, S. Gippsland (H. Deane). The leaves and fruits typical (fruits 

 slightly pedicellate), but the buds rugose. Fruits a little small. 



All these specimens are practically alike. They are all JE. capitellata, Sm. 

 In their rugose buds they undoubtedly show affinity to /','. alpina, Lindl. 



South Australia. 



Sandy rises covered with fern undergrowth, Narracoorte (W. Gill). Clavate, 

 scarcely angular buds, with domed fruits, valves well exsert. 



Mount Lofty, South Australia (B, H. Cambagc, 20th March, 1901, also W. 

 Gill). Short, broadish leaves, ovoid, shiny, slightly tuberculatc buds, almost sessile, 

 squat, conoid to hemispherical domed fruits. See fig. 11, pi. 37. 



Stringybark, Mount Lofty Ranges (Max Koch, September, 1902). The 

 figures (fig. 1, pi. 38) show the remarkable variation in the shape of the fruits in 

 this tree. Buds rather small, some with conical operculum, and some with clavate 

 shape of buds ; many of them slightly rugose. I doubt if the Mount Lofty 

 specimens can be separated from those labelled "Eucalyptus fabrorum, Schlechtendal. 

 In montibus steriorilibus elatis, November, 1848. Dr. Mueller " (probably Mount 

 Lofty, South Australia) ; see this Work, Part i, p. 40; Cf. also Part ii, p. 60. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. E. eugenioides, Sieb. See under E. eugenioicles, p. 239. 



2. E. Muelleriana, Howitt. See under E. Muelleriana, p. 224. 



3. E. macrorrhyncha, P.v.M. See under E. macrorrhyncha, p. 230. 



4. E. santalifolia, P.v.M. 



E. santalifolia agrees with E. capitellata in the almost total absence of flower-stalklets, but it 

 attains not the size of a large tree, the leaves are smaller, more rigid, of a lighter green, less conspicuously 

 veined, and not remarkably inequilateral, the flowers are generally less numerous on each stalk, the calyces 

 are larger, with wider tube and longer lid, the stamens not inflexed before expansion, the anthers more 

 cordate than renate, and the fruits usually smaller, not to speak of the seedlings of the two species, those 

 of E. capitellata, according to specimens transmitted by the Rev. Dr. Woolls, being star-hairy and 

 producing leaves narrow-laneeolar (sic, J.H.M.) though rounded at the base also. — (Evcalypto^raphia, 

 under E. santalifolia). 



I have already dealt with the affinity of these two species ; see p. 213. 



5. E. alpina, Lindl. I have made some observations on the affinities of 



these two sj>ecies, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. W., 1904, p. 766.
