1. 7. Euc. cajuputea, Ferd. Mull., Herb, ramulis tenuibus superne acutangulis, foliis linearibus apice

 urnbellis axillaribus et lateralibus, 3-7-vulgo 5 floris, floribus breviter pedicellatis, operculo conico non 

 mucronato calycis tubum obconicum fere aequante. 



Flinders Range (F. Miiller). 



Petioli circiter 3 lin., folia 2i-4J poll, longa, 2-4 vulgo 3 lin. lata. Pedunculi 2-3 lin. longi : 

 pedicelli 1-1 A lin. longa, ancipites vel tetraquetri. Calycis tubus 1 A— 2 lin. quandoque subanceps. 

 (Miq. in Ned. Kruidk. Arch., iv, 126, 1856.) 



I have a specimen of the type. " Mt. Remarkable, F. Mueller, 1851." 

 With narrow lanceolate leaves, venation hardly observable. Labelled odorata, both 

 by Mueller and Bentham. 



2. E. odorata, Behr., var. erythrostoma, F.v.M. {ante p. 26). 



A type specimen is identical with one labelled : — 



" Euc. odorata, var. erythrostoma. Madam Pepperweath, Light's Pass." 

 Copy of a label in Miquel's handwriting in Herb. Melb. 



It is one of the specimens labelled " Madam Pepperweath," by Miquel, a 

 mistaken reading by him for "in modum Peppermenth, or like peppermint," as 

 pointed out under E. incrassata, in B.F1. iii, 231. 



Varieties. 



i. Var. calcicultrix, Miq. 



Size, bark, and timber like that of the type. 



Juvenile leaves. — Sometimes glaucous, veins very prominent, often Uiplinerved, with the lateral 

 veins nearly as prominent. Broadish ovate, say 1£ inches long by 1 inch wide, but variation in width 

 remarkable. ' 



Mature leaves. — Sap-green in colour, thinnish, and with rather prominent oil-dots. Well-marked 

 (E. to.rophleba-Yike.) venation, intramarginal vein at a considerable distance from the edge. Colour bright, 

 often sap-green. An average size is 3 inches long and ^ inch broad, with a petiole of half an inch. 



Buds. — Scarcely angular, but showing angularity somewhat, each on a tapering stalk, and the 

 cluster on a common pedicel of half an inch. 



Flowers. — Usually four to six in the head ; anthers same as the type. 



Fruits. — Pedicellate, almost ovate; sometimes markedly pear-shaped. Valves usually six, and deeply 

 sunk. Rim of fruit often accentuated like that of E. leucoxylon and E. mettiodora. A quarter of an 

 inch long. 



Notes Supplementary to the Description. 



Specimens from Spencer's Gulf have broader leaves, and specially shiny 

 foliage ; venation well marked. The width of leaves varies. When growing close 

 to the sea they are sometimes very coarse. 



Koch's No. 588, Flinders Range specimen, has leaves less shiny. 



Juvenile leaves (on same tree) from narrow to very broad, and green. The 

 buds are sometimes with a hemispherical operculum. Filaments paler. Lai'ger 

 fruits, often with marked rim. Mount Brown Forest Reserve, Flinders Range, has 

 fruits large, more pear-shaped, and the orifice smaller.
