The following four specimens belong to this variety (pallens, Benth.), and 

 are, indeed, the type :— 



I do not find it a useful variety-name either of E. gonioealyx or of E. 

 elaiophora, since the glaucousness is merely a matter of locality, and I find no per- 

 manent morphological differences between it and E. gonioealyx or E. elceophora, 



(A) " Eucalypti goniocalycis videtur varietas pallens. 



" Arbor mediocris divisionis E. dealbata, cue valde humilis ? In montibus 

 ad. fl. Snowy, 10/2 54. Dr. M." (Mueller). 



The above is a copy of a label in Mueller's handwriting in Herb. Melb. 



(B), " Euc. gonioealyx, Ferd. Mueller, var., Snowy River." Copy of a label in 

 Mueller's handwriting in Herb. Melb. 



The fruits of (B) are smaller, have the valves more exserted, and are less 

 glaucous than those of (A). The leaves are precisely the same, and no doubt the 

 fruits pass into each other. 



(C), " Eucalyptus pallens, DC. Snowy River, Mueller." Copy of an old label 

 (not on printed form) from Herb. Melb. in Herb. Calcutta. 



(D), "Eucalyptus albens, DC. Snowy River, Victoria, Dr. F. v. Mueller." 

 Copy of a label (on printed form) from Herb. Melb. in Herb. Calcutta. 



For some further references to the confusion between J?, albens and E. pallens 

 see Part XI, p. 20, of this work. 



In this connection it is useful to consider the following specimens, which are 

 glaucous and have the valves obvious, but not much exsert. 



Victoria. 



•' A scraggy tree, 60-80 feet high, 3 feet diameter at the base, rough scaly 

 bark, persistent on stem and branches." Fruit more hemispherical than usual.
