2. With E.falcata, Turcz. 



This is observable in the corrugation of buds and fruits, e.g., lc and Id. 

 Plate 69, but (see Plate 68) E. oleosa, var. Flocktoni, and E. falcata are sufficiently 

 distinct. 



3. With E. deeurva, F.v.M. 



I have received from Professor Ewart a specimen from Herb. Melb., labelled 

 " On the level plains, south from Stirling Range. Shrub 10 feet, 14th January, 

 1862. E. oleosa, F.v.M., var. Eucalyptus deeurva, Benth., partim, non Ferd. 

 Mueller." It is E. oleosa, var. Flocktoni. 



This locality is Kalgan Plains or thereabout, and the collector was probably 

 Maxwell. The reference to Bentham is explained under E. deeurva, this Part, 

 p. 191, for Bentham confused Mueller's E. deeurva with E. falcata. 



Another specimen, " Peppermint," Murchison Biver, Western Australia 

 (Oldfield) " (see fig. 3, Plate 09) was included doubtfully in E. deeurva by Bentham, 

 and connects the present variety with E. oleosa. 



A third specimen, Cowcowing, Western Australia (Max Koch), figured at 3, 

 Plate 69, is also a connecting form. 



It will be seen from the above that Bentham confused E. falcata and E. 

 deeurva because of the incomplete material at his disposal, and since E. oleosa, var. 

 Flocktoni, was one of the forms so confused, I direct attention to the matter. 

 Compare fig. 2, Plate 70 (E. deeurva), and the strong resemblances will be at once 

 evident. 



At the same time the anthers of the two forms sharply separate them. 



1. With E. torquata, Luehm. 



The variety Flocktoni, especially in its most corrugated form (e.g., figs, lc, 

 Id of Plate 69), certainly resembles E. torquata, Luehm. (see 6a and 6c, Plate 13, 

 Part. IV), but the anthers sharply separate the two Eucalypts, while other differences 

 are apparent. 



5. With E. incrassata, Labill. 



Attention may be invited to the figures of E. incrassata buds at la, and fruits 

 at 2a, Plate 15, Part IV of the present work. There is undoubted external 

 similarity to E. oleosa, var. Flocktoni, but the anthers separate the two forms.
