 PLATE 40. 



E. eugenioides, Sieb. (except No. 1). 



la. Cotyledon leaf; 16, juvenile leaf of E. marginata. Woodlupin Creek, Western Australia (A. G. 



Hamilton). 

 2a. Juvenile leaves, just past the strictly opposite stage; 26, mature leaf; 2c, anthers, of Sieber's 



No. 479, type of E. eugenioides. 

 3a. Ripe buds and opening flowers ; 36, fruits, with slightly exserted valves, from Homebush, Sydney 



(J H.M. and R. H. Cambage). The juvenile and mature leaves and flowers are strictly 



identical with Sieber's No. 479. 

 4a. Juvenile leaves (note the stellate hairs) in the strictly opposite stage; 4b, juvenile leaves a stage 



further ; 4c, buds ; 4d and 4e, fruits taken from the same twig. Blackheath, New South Wales 



(J. H.M. and R. H. Cambage). The foliage, juvenile and mature, of this tree cannot be 



distinguished from Sieber's No. 479. 

 5a. Mature leaf ; 56, buds ; 5c, fruits of Sieber's No. 469, type of his E. acervula. 



6. Mature leaves and buds of Sieber's No. 583, type of E. oblonga, DC. There is a loose fruit attached 



to this specimen, but I refrain from figuring it because it is detached. 



7. Fruits of " White Stringybark," Mudgee district (C. Marriott). Herbarium specimens of this Stringy- 



bark are identical with Sieber's No. 583. The fruits I have figured (7) are identical with the 



detached fruit referred to (6). 

 8a. Mature leaf (rather broad) ; 86, buds ; 8c, fruits (rather large). Hurstville, near Sydney (J. H. 



Camfield). 

 9a, Buds ; 96, fruits. Hilltop, New South Wales (J.H.M.). Note the long opercula. 

 10a, Juvenile leaves ; 106, buds; 10c, fruits. Eden, south-east New South Wales (near Victorian border) 



(A. W. Howitt). Note the breadth of these juvenile leaves as compared with 4a, which are near 



the type. There is, indeed, much variation in the juvenile foliage of E. eugenioides. 



[Comparing 10a with 4a (Plate 37), we see how different the juvenile foliage is from 



that of typical E. capitellala. But if we also compare 10a with the juvenile foliage of that form 



of E. capitdlata depicted at 2a (Plate 38), we see how careful we must be not to determine 



E. eugenioides or E. capitellata on juvenile foliage alone. Reference to 26 and 2c (Plate 38) 



shows that the closer affinity of the plant in question (2a of pi. 38) is with E. capitdlata rather 



than with E. eugenioides^ 

 11a, Remarkably slender buds; 116, remarkably small fruits. Walhalla, Gippsland, Victoria (A. W. 



Howitt). 

 12a, Very slender buds; 126, fruits, of the " Yangoura," of the Victorian aborigines (A. W. Howitt). 



See p. 234. 

 13a, Long, large buds; 136, large pedicellate fruits. Agnes Bridge, Victoria (A. W. Howitt). 

 14a, Juvenile leaf [note its great breadth] ; 146, buds ; 14c, small fruits. Wingello, New South Wales 



(J. L. Boorman). 

 '15a, Juvenile leaf; 156, buds; 15c, fruits, showing faint ribbing. Wyee, New South Wales (A. Murphy). 

 16a, Buds ; 166, fruits, slightly domed, and with exserted valves. Foot of Mt. Lindsay, New South Wales 



(W. Forsyth). 



17a, Rather narrow leaf; 176, fruits with exserted valves. Near 11 -mile post, Inverell to Tingha 

 (R. H. Cambage). See p. 236. 



18a, Juvenile leaves, past the opposite stage [note their great width]; 186, buds; 18c and 18c?, fruits, 

 varying in size, exsertion of valves, and width of rim. All from Walcha district (J.H.M. and 

 J. F. Campbell). 



19, Fruits, with well exserted valves. Drake, New South Wales (E. C. Andrews). 



20, Fruits, with sunk valves. Drake, New South Wales (A. Hagman). 



21a, Buds, inclining to be angular; 216, shallow fruits. Lawrence, Clarence River, New South Wales 



(J. V. de Coque). 

 22a, Buds : 226, fruits, with valves well exserted. Murrurundi (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman).
