It also occurs on the Lynd River, as already described.

AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. phcenicea F.v.M. 



This will be dealt with when E. phcenicea is reached. See p. 42. 



2. With E. ptychocarpa. 



In its fruit E. miniata resembles E. ptychocarpa vei'y much, but the bark of the latter is more 

 stringy, more solid, and on the main branches persistent, its leaves are of darker colour abeve, of 

 larger size and thicker substance, still less perceptibly dotted by oil-pores, more copiously and more 

 prominently veined, and devoid of stomata on the upper surface; the umbels arc somewhat paniculated 

 and terminal, the calyces are provided with stalklets ; the fruits are not quite so large, while the fertile 

 seeJs are terminated by a conspicuous membrane. (" Eucalyptographia," under E. miniata.) 



I will deal with this when I come to E. ptychocarpa. 



In its bark E. miniata displays considerable affinity to the Corymboscc.
