4. E. Mahogani, F.v.H. Fragm, ii, 41 (1860). 



Kalgan River, Oldfield. Leaves rather thick. 



I have examined types of all of the ahove. 



Drummond's 85 (5th Coll. ? ) has rather hroad leaves and is in flower only. 



Drutninond's 1S5 (5th) " Swan River to Cape Riche " has small leaves, shiny 

 and coriaceous. 



The original pronunciation of the well-known name " Jarrah " is " Yarrah." 



Mueller quotes Augustus Gregory as giving "Jerrile" as the ahoriginal 

 name; Dr. A. Morrison gives another, viz., " Maalock." Two other species have 

 heen sent to me from Western Australia under the latter name. 



The thickened margin of the leaf affords a useful diagnostic character, hut it 

 is not an infallible guide. 



The seedling leaves are remarkable and have not been previously described. 

 Mr. A. G. Hamilton collected the specimen figured (fig. 1, pi. 40) at Woodlupin 

 Creek, W.A. 



The cotyledon leaves are nearly reniform, and when dried are 1^ inch in 

 greatest width ; width of the lamina from the attachment of the petiole continued 

 until the margin of the lamina is reached is 1 inch ; length of petiole f inch. The 

 cotyledon-leaves and intermediate leaves are glandular — hairy with reddish hairs, 

 lanceolate, and the base of the lamina cDmes below the point of attachment of the 

 petiole to the lamina. 



One of the best known of Australian timber-trees, partly because it is more 

 gregarious than those of most other species of the Australian States. It is a very 

 valuable asset of the Western State, and one of which she can reasonably be 

 very proud. 



The bark is rough, not a true Stringybark, but while fibrous it is flaky, 

 furrowed, and somewhat dense in texture. 



It is a species with a wide range in Western Australia, and I have nothing to 

 aid to the range indicated in " Eucalyptographia."
