3. With E. siderophloia, Beuth. 



f'hieflv different from E. siderophloia in less shining leaves with about equal numbers of stomata 

 on each side, mostly solitary umbels on a broadly-compressed stalk, absence of stalklets, the lid not long- 

 pointed, the filaments while in bud more twisted, and possibly also in bark and fruit. The tree from 

 Mount Elliott referred to by Bentham under E. Boicmani, belongs to E. drepanophylla. — (Under E. 

 sid^ropkloia, in Mueller's " Eucalyptographia." 



4. With E. Baileyana, P.v.M. 



Under E. Baileyana, F.T.M., Mueller, in "Eucalyptographia," points out 

 certain differences between that species and E. Boicmuni, but inasmuch as Mueller 

 himself included two species under E. Baileyana," his figure being a composite one, 

 with fruits of E. Baileyana and flowers and leaves of E. eugeniodes, the comparison 

 in question is of no value. It has no close affinity to E. Baileyana.

 PLATE 15. 



E. piperita, Sm. 



la, 16. .Juvenile leaves (seedlings). Linden, Blue Mountains, N.S.W. (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.) 



2. Juvenile leaves. Hornsby, near Sydney. (E. H. F. Swain.) 



3a. Leaf : 36, buds (note the sharp operculum and the somewhat falcate twist of each bud in this species) : 

 3c, flowers : 3d, fruits (ovoid). 



4. Buds. Corricudgy Mountain, near Rylstone. (R. T. Baker.) 



5. Fruits, almost spherical. Lawson, Blue Mountains. (J. H. Camneld.) 



6. Fruits, typically urceolate in shape. Wingello, N.S.W. (J. L. Boorman.) 



la. Fruits of E. piperita (Port Jackson) ; 76, fruits of E. eugenioides (Lane Cove, Port Jackson) ; 7 c, fruits 

 (Hurstville, Sydney) which appear to be intermediate in character between la and lb. See p. 305. 



8a. Juvenile leaves: 86, leaf in the intermediate stage: 8c, mature leaf and buds SJ, Se, fruits of a 

 ■Messmate.'' Wingello, N.S.W. (J. L. Boorman.) This plant is not typical of E. viperita 

 and is discussed at p. 304. 



9. Reniform anthers of E. piperita. 



E. Sieberiana, F.v.M 



10a, 106. Juvenile leaves (seedlings). Blackheath, Blue Mountains, N.S.W. (R. H. Cambage and 

 J.H.M.) 



11. Leaf, intermediate stage. Cox's River, Blue Mountains. (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.) 



12. Buds. Badgery's Crossing to Nowra. N.S.W. (W. Forsyth and A. A. Hamilton.) 



13. Fruits. Twofold Bay, N.S.W. (Oldfield). Seen by Bentham and marked by him E. virgata, Sieb. 



The error is explained at p. 308. 



14a. Mature leaf; 146, buds; 14c, fruits. Dromedary Range, N.S.W. (C. S. Wilkinson.) This is the 

 specimen formerly labelled E. hcemastoma by Mueller, and the error is explained at p. SOS. 



15. Reniform anther of E. Sieberiana. 



*I have published a plate of E. Baileyana in Part 35 of my "Forest Flora of New South Wales, " and have 

 re-described the species.
