 lignes ; le calice ovale, un peu pyriforme, surmonte d'un opercule conique, a demi hemisphiirique a sa base, 

 de la largeur du calice, termine par une corne droite ; obtuse, aussi longue que le calice. 



J'ijnore le lieu natal de cette plante, que j'ai vue dans l'herbier de M. Desfontaines. 



Observations. — Je n'ai point parle da deux especes cultivees au Jardin des Planter, & mentionees 

 dans le Catalogue sous les noais d'Eunalyptus angustifolia, — oppositifolia. On n'en connoit enore que les 

 feuilles: la premiere remarquable par ses feuilles etroites, lanceoleei ; la seconde par ses feuilles presqu' 

 opposees, meJiocrement petiolees, lanceol^as, tris-aigues, a nervures simples, paralleles. Elks sont toutes 

 deux originates de la Nouvelle-Hollande. (Poir. Encyc. Suppl. ii, 594, 1785.) 



I have seen the following specimens of the old collectors : — • 



a. " Eucalyptus robusta, N. Holland, Dr. Smith ex. herb. Lambert " in Herb. 

 Cant, (obviously a co-type). 



b. No. 47-16 collected by Robert Brown, 1800-04, Port Jackson. 



c. Eucalyptus robusta var. b. rostrata in A. Cunn.'s handwriting, which is a 

 piece of normal E. robusta. 



d. No. 480 Sieber, New Holland. 



e. "Eucalyptus robusta Sm. (E. rostrata Car.) De la Nouvelle Hollande. 

 No. 480. M. Sieber, 1825." 



/. "Eucalyptus capitellata Sm. de Tile Maurice M. Sieber, 1S26, No. 318," 

 with the additional printed label " Fl. maurit. ii, No. 318." 



Both these specimens are in Herb. Barbey-Boissier and are E. robusta Sm. 

 The second specimen gives a reference to Sieber's botanical trip to the Mauritius. 



Another specimen bears the label — 



g. " Sicberi Flora Mauritiana Exsicc, part ii, No. 318; Fl. maurit. ii, No. 318." 



h. M. Verreaux No. 11, 1815, Nouv. Hollande, Cote Crientale.
