I have a memorandum of having seen when at Kew a specimen labelled " E. Baueriana 

 Miq.," and of having referred it to " the lowland form of E. Gunnii" which is another 

 name for E. ovata. 



For E. Baueriana Schauer, see Part xiii of the present work. 



8. E. citrifolia F.v.M., Herb. See E. Baueriana, supra. I have seen "Plantae 



Miilleriana?, Eucalyptus citrifolia, F. Miiller, Nov. Holland meridional " (one of 

 Miquel's labels). In Herb. Barbey-Boissier. 



It is in flower and early fruit only, with rather broad shiny Citrus-like leaves, 

 hence the specific name. It is E. ovata and is identical with E. Baueriana Miq., non 

 Schauer. 



9. E. acervula Hook. f. non Sieb. 



Description. — Arbor elata, ramulis robustis pendulis, foliis ovata-v. elliptico-lanceolatis 

 acuniinatis coriaceis subnitidis rectis falcatisve nervis divergentibus. pedunculis elongatis petiolis 

 brevioribus 4— 8-floris, eah'cibus obconicis crasse pedicellatis, operculo conico calyce teqiulongo, capsulis 

 obconicis ore piano dilatato latiusculo, valvis inmiersis — De Cancl. Prodr. iii, 217. (Gunn. 1297, 1081, 

 1088, 1093.) 



Hah. — Abundant in many parts of the Colony, as on the Derwent from Hobarton to Both well, 

 Launeeston, &c. — (Fl. Oct.). 



Distrib. — South-eastern Australia. 



This appears to be a very constant species, all my specimens, which are very numerous, and many 

 individuals being very similar ; it is most nearly allied to E. viminalis in the flowers, but differs in the sunk 

 valves of the capsule, and leaves ; the foliage is that of E. Gunnii, but the peduncles are always more than 

 three-flowered, and the capsule is different. Trunk erect, often lofty; bark smooth or rough, pale or 

 brown. Branches more or less pendulous. Leaves 2—4 inches long, ovate-lanceolate or elliptical- 

 lanceolate. Peduncles stout. Flowers four to eight. The bruised foliage has a much sweeter odour 

 than is usual in the genus — in Hobarton specimens, at any rate. (Fl. Tas. i, 135). 



It will be observed that the shape of the leaves is ovate to elliptic-lanceolate. 



We have also E. acervula Miq., non Sieb., Ned. Kruidk. Arch, iv (1856), 137. 



I have examined E. acervula Miq., leg. B. Brown, from Herb. Brit. Mus., Kew, 

 Berol., and other herbaria. The same, B. Brown, 1802-5, from the Derwent, Tasmania, 

 distributed from Herb. Brit. Mus., 1876. This specimen, in some collections, bears 

 the label " E. viminalis (?)." I have not seen any number attached to it. 



Benth&m (B.Fl. iii, 207) gives E. acervula Miq., as a synonym of E . macrorrhyncha 

 F.v.M. This mistake has probably arisen through some confusion with E. acervula 

 Sieb., although Bentham mentions " non Sieb." E. acervula Sieb., is a Stringybark 

 (E. eugenioides Sieb.), and so is E. macrorrhyncha F.v.M. 



10. E. Gunnii F.v.M. non Hook, f., in Fragm. ii, 62 (1860). This may be trans- 

 lated as follows : — 



A tree, leaves alternate, moderately petiolate, narrow or ovate lanceolate or rightly ovate, coriaceous, 

 shining, the same colour on both sides, spreading and prominently penniveined, narrowed into a long thin 

 point or shortly acute, narrowed slightly inequilaterally at the base, the peripheral vein distant from the 

 margin, umbels axillary, lateral and solitary, 3-7 flowered, rather long or rather shortly petiolate, the 

 obconical semiovate tube of the calyx which has a rather long, or a short, or scarcely any pedicel is slightly 

 longer or half as long again as the almost hemispherical shortly and rather obtusely acuminate and more
