1. E. seabra, Dum-Cours. 



Following is tbe original description : — ■ 



E. a feuilles rudes, E. seabra, Hort. Angl.-Cette espece me paroit etre une des plus belles de ce 

 genre, du moins relativerueTit a son feuillage. Ses feuilles sont ovales, tres entieres, terminees par une 

 pointe partieuliere, relevees en-dessous de nervures paralleles qui s' arrondissent, en s' anastoruosant a une 

 ligne environ des bords, ferines, un peu rudes au toucher, d'un beau vert, longues de 9 centimetres 

 (3 pouces et demi), larges de 5 cent, et demi (2 pouees). Lieu id. Toujours vert. Cult. Orangerie. 

 Celle des autres especes et des plantes de la Nouvel'e-Hollande. 



De toutes les especes de ce genre, il n 'y a que celles qui sont nominees E. resinifera et obliqua qui 

 aient encore neuri en France et en Angleterre. — (Dum-Cours. Bot. Cult. ed. 2, vol. 7, p. 279, 2S0). 



We then find Sieber's No. 479 (tbe type of E. eugenioides) placed under tbe 

 same name, in ths following words : — 



E. seabra (Dum-Cours, bot. cult. 7, p. 280) operculo subconico cupula paulo breviore, pedunculis 

 axillaribus angulato-compressis petiolo sequalibus aut longioribus, floribus capitatis, foliis lanceolatis basi 

 inaaqualibus ramorum sterilium crispis, fertilium planis, saepe novellis cum ramis velutinis. In Xova— 

 Hollandia. E. eugenioides, Sieb. ! plant, cxs. nov.-holl., n. 479. — (DC. Prod, iii, 21S.) 



Specimens referred to, Sieber's No. 179, and named E. seabra, Dum-Cours, 

 are precisely matcbed by many specimens in tbe National Herbarium, Sydney, e.g., 

 TV T yee (A. Murpby). 



2. E. penieillata, Hort. 



E. ■penieillata, hortul. Eamuli et folia piles breves fasciculatim congeitos gerunt, demum glabra 

 evadunt, interdum glabra nascuntur. Petioli 4- lin. longi. Folia basi inrequalia ovali — aut oblongo —

 Noissettiano petiolo duplo longiores 15-20 flori (given as a synonym of E. seabra in DC. Prod, iii, 218). 



3. E. aeervula, Sieb. (Sieb. plant, exs. no v. -boll., n. 469). 



Operculo conico capsular longitudine, pedunculis lateralibus petiolo brevioribus pedicellisque ancipi- 

 tibus, foliis ovato-lanceolatis basi hinc valde excisa obliquis apice acuminatis. In iSTova-Hollandia. Folii

All tbe specimens of Sieber's No. 469 tbat I bave seen are in mature foliage 

 and bud. I cannot separate tbem from Sieber's No. 479 ; in fact, tbey migbt bare 

 been taken from tbe same tree. 



" 31. Eucalyptus aeervula, Sieb. — DC. I.e. 217, u. 10, Mem. Myrtac. Folia in 

 supp. paullo latiora. Swampy plains towards tbe Plenty-range (F. Miiller)" (Miquel
