is odorata. The timber of E. leucoxylon is pale, and its bark less rough. The 

 venation of the leaves of E. odorata is more marked than that of E. leucoxylon. 

 The stem-clasping glaucous foliage of E. leucoxylon is quite different. 



5. With E.fceeunda, Schauer. 



The affinity of these two species as regards foliage, buds, fruits, and perhaps 

 timber, is undoubted. E. loxophleba, Benth., var. fruticosa, Benth., B.Fl. hi, 252, 

 is, in my opinion, referable to E. odorata (E. loxophleba i« now acknowledged to be 

 a form of E. fcecunda) . E. odorata has not yet been traced to Western Australia, 

 and the relations of the two species require to be more closely studied. 



6. With E. Behriana, F.v.M. 



Mueller [Eucalyptographia) remarks that while E. odorata could not be 

 easily mistaken for E. Behriana, the former is discriminable by the mainly axillary 

 inflorescence and persistent bark. E. odorata is usually a fairly large tree, while 

 E. Behriana is a Mallee ; the former is rough-barked, while the latter is smooth. 



Sometimes E. odorata is coarse (especially near the sea-coast) and broad- 

 leaved ; this form is a good deal like E. Behriana, but the timber is brown, not red 

 as in E. Behriana.
