DESCRIPTION. 



L. E. Raveretiana, F.v.M. 



Fragmenta phytographice Australia, x, 99 (1877). Figured and described in 

 English in the " Eucalyptographia." 



Notes supplementary to the Description. 



The figure in the " Eucalyptographia" is not a very good one. While the 

 tree has many leaves of the shape depicted, yet there are also numerous long lanceolar 

 leaves, as figured at fig. 3a, PL 53 of the present work, while the juvenile leaves, 

 figured at la and lb of the same Plate, have not previously been figured or 

 described. 



Tbey vary from obovate to broadly lanceolate and elliptical in shape. Texture 

 rather thin but tough, underside pale, intramarginal vein rather distant from the 

 edge. 



The tree is very large and sturdy, and the timber is very hard. It has flaky 

 or hard scaly bark on the trunk and main branches. The flakes or furrows are not 

 deep. The smaller branches are dirty blue grey in colour. 



It is a " Box " tree. 



RANGE. 



Near Rockhampton, Queensland (Thozet and O'Shanesy) ; Dawson and Nercool 

 Creek (Bowman) ; near Port Denison (Fitzalan) \_Eucalyptographici\. I have 

 no additional localities other than those quoted. The type came from valleys 

 within the tropic of Capricorn in Eastern Australia, but no definite locality. It 

 doubtless came from the neighbourhood of Pockhampton. 



Moore's Creek, north of Pockhampton, is the nearest locality to Pockhampton 

 where this species occurs. 



" Occasional trees alone? creeks and borders of scrubs in Mackav and Bowen 

 districts."
