I look upon E. laurifolia as a form intermediate between E. oleosa and 

 E. Gillii, nov. sp., which I describe at page 177. 



4. E. turbinata, Behr et F.v.M. 

 Following is the original description : — 



33. Eucalyptus turbinata, Behr et Mull., fruticosa, ramulis junioribus rubris angulatis,'foliis e basi 

 obliqua ovato-lanceolatis angustato-acurninatis crasse coriaceis glaucis, costa utrinque distmcta, venis 

 subobtectis, pedunculis axiilaribus et lateralibus 4-7 floris petiolo duplo brevioribus pedicellis ttiplo 

 longioribus, calycis tubo campanulato operculi semi-globoso conici acutinsculi longitudine. 



In sylva Pine Forest trans flumen Salts Creek, fl. aestate (Dr. Behr). 



Prope K. punctatum DC. Prodi: I.e. p. 217 Mem. Myrl. Ta'i. 4, inserenda. " Frutex magnitudine 

 arboris mediae ; rami reeentiores atrorubri." Petioli 4-6 lin. longi. Folia 3-4 i poll, longa. Pedunculi 

 l|-2 lin. longi raro plus quam 7-flori. Pedicelli brevissimi. Alabastra operculata 2 lin. longa (in Miq. 

 Nederl. Kruidk. Arch, iv, 137, 1856). 



The type is in Herb. Melb. (ex herb. Sonder) and is E. oleosa. It is figured 

 at 9, I 'late 65, and is a broadish (not extreme) form of the species. 



5. Mueller says that the synonymy of this species includes E. cneorifolia, DC. 

 Prod, iii, 220, and B.F1. iii, 217, so far as the plant from the arid scrubby ridges 

 of Kangaroo Island (lie Decres) is concerned (Eucalyptographia, under E. oleosa). 



I have not been able to confirm this statement by examination of actual 

 specimens, i.e., that some E. cneorifolia has been included under E. oleosa. It is, 

 however, likely enough, esj>ecially considering the imperfect material some of the 

 early workers prior to Bentham did not hesitate to name. At page 129, Part XIII, 

 of the present work I have stated that E. cneorifolia appears to be confined 

 to Kangaroo Island. 



In B.F1. iii, 217, Bentham refers certain specimens " Beyond Salt's Creek 

 and near Port Lincoln, Mueller,'" to E. cneorifolia. As will be seen on reference to 

 page 171, both these are quoted localities for E. oleosa (including E. socialis and 

 E. turbinata). Therefore, for these localities under E. cneorifolia, loc. cit., E. oleosa 

 should probably be read. 



6. E. perforata, Behr (as quoted in the original description of E. oleosa). 



Behr's material was evidently much mixed, since some of his E. perforata 

 was also referred to E. gracilis, F.v.M. See Vol. i, Part III, p. 81, of the present 

 work. 



Part of his material is also referable to E. odorata, Behr and Schlecht. See 

 page 30, Part XI (Vol. ii), of this work.
