1. E. stricta, Sieb., var. Luehmanniana, F.v.M. 



The species name Luehmanniana was suppressed by the. author in his Census 

 (1st Edition, 1882), but not before he had included it under E. stricta (Eucalyptographia). 

 He is not as clear as he might be on the subject, but he speaks of E. virgata as " a 

 form "... (of E. stricta), and a little further on of " The variety Luehmanniana 

 . . . ' (of virgata, and consequently of stricta). In the 2nd Edition (1889) of the 

 Census it appears (by reference) under E. virgata, Sieb., which species itself had been 

 suppressed in the 1st Edition of the work. 



2. E. virgata, Sieb., var. Luehmanniana, F.v.M. 



Mueller distributed a good deal of this plant under the above name. He refers 

 to it in " Eucalyptographia " (under E. stricta.) in the following words: — " But the 

 real E. virgata does undergo a development in another direction, enlarging to that 

 startling state, which was distinguished as E. Luehmanniana . . ." 



3. E. rigida, Sieb., var. Luehmanniana, F.v.M. 



(in " Eucalyptographia " under E. Planchoniana). 



Var. altior, Deane and Maiden. 



Following is the original description of the variety: — 



A tree which may be described as a form of E. Luehmanniana, with fruits and all other rwrts 

 comparatively small. The following notes will render the resemblances and differences clear: — 



Immature foliage, inflorescence and fruits, also twigs, all glaucous. 



General remarks. — A tree of (>0 or 70 feet, with a trunk diameter up to 2 feet. It will be observed 

 that the tree is far larger than that of E. Luehmanniana, a circumstance which we record in the name altior. 



B;irk. — Smooth, with some baik near the butt, falling off in ribbons. A " White Gum." 



Timber. — Pale-coloured. 



Seedling leaves. — Young seedlings remind one of those of E. Sieberiana a good deal. They are 

 medium lanceolate, bluish-green, equally green on both sides. Decussate at first, after two or three pairs 

 they lose their horizontal character. At length they are more or less undulate and pendulous (Maiden 

 and Cambage, Proc. Linn. Sec. N.S.W., 1905, 196).
