AFFINITIES. 



1 and 2. With E. acacicpformis Deane and Maiden and E. aggregata Deane and 

 Maiden. 



It differs from both E. acacicrformis and E. aggregata in the bark, which is fibrous, while that of 

 E. parvifolia is smooth. The leaves of the former two soon become alternate, while many of those of the 

 latter remain opposite, even when the trees are full grown, or much longer than is usual with the great 

 majority of Eucalypts. (It. H. Cambage, loc. cit.) 



3. With E. siellulata Sieb. 



In bark (partly), fruits and habit, but differs absolutely in foliage, both as regards venation and 

 disposition. (E. H. Cambage.) 



4. With E. eugenioides Sieb. var. nana Deane and Maiden. 



In the shape of juvenile foliage and fruits, but differs in bark, timber, anthers, and mature foliage. 

 (R. H. Cambage.) 



E. parcifoUa is an interesting species whose affinities require further investigation. 

 Messrs. Baker and Smith (loc. cit.) state that its oil indicates affinity with E. globulus 

 Labill.
