 Sep. -Nov. 



Arbor mediocris vol major, covtice trunci ramorumque Iaevi mox albido, secedentibus stratis extimis 

 tenuibus fuscentibus. Petioli semitcretes 1-1 h " longi. Folia tenui-coriacea utplurimum 2-3 " longa 

 Baepe in petiolum breviter, decurrentia. Calycis tubus li-2 " metiens. Operculum pallidius simplex 

 (qua nota a simili E. bigalerita praesertim dignoseitur). Stamina ad 3 '" longa albida. Capsula 2 '" 

 longa. E. bigaleritae proxima. (Journ. Linn. Soc. iii, 93, 1859.) 



Mueller (Eucalyptographia under E. alba) says : — 



E. platyphylla F.v.M., Journ. Linn. Soc. iii, 93, approaches closely to E. alba; the leaves are 

 mostly broader, the lid is generally shorter and blunt and the valves less exserted: its foliage sheds for 

 Rhort periods almost entirely. The range and variability of these trees remains yet to be further ascertained 

 by extended field researches. 



In his Census he omits E. platypltylla, considering it to be conspecific with E. alba. 



" E. platyphylla. I cannot distinguish (E. alba) from this, even as a variety." 

 (J. G. Luehmann in Proc. Aust. Assoc. Adv. Science, vii, 532, 1898.) I concur in that 

 opinion. 



8. E. bigalerita F.v.M. 



Arborea, raniulis teretiusculis, foliis alternis rarius oppositis longe petiolatis cordatis vel subtra- 

 pezoides acutiusculis nunc acuminatis vixpellucide punctatis opacis penniveniis, vena peripherica a margine 

 inaequaliter remota, umbellis lateralibus axillaribusque 4-7-floris solitariis, pedunculo crasso verruculoso 

 calycibus parum longiore cum pedicello perbrevi anguloso, calycis tubo semi-ovato 3-2-costulato operculo 

 triplo longiore, operculo duplici : utroque obtusissimo coriaceo vel cxterno apiculato ....

Anth. Jul. -Sept. 



Arbor parva vel mediocris rarius excelsa, gummi-resina pulchre rubiginosa abunde scatens. Cortex 

 post strati supremi laevis cinerei lapsum dilute fulvidus laevigatus. Folia pleraque 3-4" longa, 2-3" lata, 

 petiolo inferne teretiusculo superne semitereti 1-^-2" longo praedita, satis saturate viridia. Calyces circiter 

 3 '" longi virides. Operculum externum (denique fuscescens) cito secedens bi-tricostulatum, costis iisdem 

 tubi continuis; operculum internum virena ecostatum. Fructum non habui. (Journ. Linn. Hoc. iii, 96 

 [1859].) 



E. bigalerita F. Muell. from the Upper Rooer River appeal's to me to be E. platyphylla, with the 

 outer operculum persisting till the bud has nearly attained its full size, whilst in the majority of specimens 

 it falls off at a very early stage. (B.F1. iii, 243.) 



E. bigalerita was not enumerated by Mueller in his " Second Census," and it is 

 assumed that Mueller included it under E. alba.
