DESCRIPTION. 



XC. E. leptopoda, Bentham. 



In B.FL iii, 238 (partim). 



The types are Drummond's Nos. 33 and 36 (5th Coll.), but not Nos. 151 and 188 of 

 Drummond's specimens as quoted, which are E. salmonophloia, F.v.M. 



It is further described in Fragm., xi, 13. It is not figured in the 

 " Eucalyptographia." 



Notes supplementary to the description. 



A thin, wiry, rather erect tall shrub or small spindly tree, with several stems 

 together. Juvenile foliage narrow lanceolate, thick, equally green on both sides, 

 no vein obvious other than the midrib. 



The tazza-like fruits as depicted at 6b, Plate 73, seem characteristic, and are 

 the usual shape in this species. 



So far as I know, it is a very uniform species. 



SYNONYM. 



E. angustifolia, Turcz. 



I give the description, as it is contained in a work not readily accessible to 

 Australians. It has several years' priority over Bentham's name, but the name 

 angustifolia was applied to a species by Link, and indeed by at least one other 

 botanist. 



48. Eucalyptus angustifolia (Brum. 5", n. 33). E. glabra ; ramis teretibus apice subangulatis ; foliis 

 alternis lineari-lanceolatis falcatis, in petiolum valde attenuatis, longe acuminatis : acumine. aaepius uncinate, 

 pellucido-punctatis ; umbellis in parte inferiore denudata ramorum ortis paueisque superioribus axillarbus 

 5-20-floris ; pedunculis floriferis compressis, fructiferis teretiusculis, pedicellos duplo excedentibus ; floribus 

 (inapertis) parvis pedicello duplo brevioribus ; operculo conico duplici cupulam aequante, exteriore 

 membranaceo citius cadente, interiore coriaceo. Folia uninervia, marginata, avenia vel obscure venosa, 

 4-pollicaria, 3 lin. tantum lata. Pedunculi floriferi petiolo plus quam duplo longiores, caeterum 

 longitudine valde variabiles, nam in uno eodemque specimine pedunculi fructiferi anni praecedentis 

 breviores sunt. Umbellae floriferae multiflorae (18-20), in stellam vel rotam dispositae, fructiferae inferne 

 positae 5-10-florae. Fructus sphaericus, pisi magnitudine, 4-5-locularis, vertice calyce emergente. Species 

 memorabilia operculo duplici, exteriore saepe lacerate. Flores inter minimos, E. micranthae et aiEnium.
