4. With E. Smithii R. T. Baker. 



This is a species which was confused for many years with E. viminalis. Compare 

 the figures 1 and 2 of Plate 55. The juvenile and mature leaves are a good deal 

 similar. Those of E. Smithii yield a valuable oil, while those of E. viminalis do not. 

 E. Smithii is multiflowered, while E. viminalis usually has flowers in threes, while it 

 much less rarely has them in fours and even more, but while multiflowered individuals 

 may be abundant in a particular district they are few in comparison with the total 

 of the normal form. 



But the anthers are very different, those of E. Smithii being renantherous and 

 those of E. viminalis having parallel cells. 



The fruits of E. Smithii are, as a rule, smaller, and the tips of the valves more 

 incurved than those of E. viminalis. 



E. Smithii is a comparatively erect tree ; E. viminalis is a bulkier, more 

 scrambling tree, with inferior timber, which is pale coloured in both species. 



5. With E. dealbata A. Cunn. 



. . . . " Seems merely an abnormal state of E. viminalis, standing to it 



in the same position as .... E. melanophloia to E. crebra " 



(" Eucalyptographia " under E. viminalis). 



The position of E. dealbata is nearer to that of E. tereticornis, as will be 

 observed when E. dealbata is described in the present work. E. dealbata is a tree of 

 dry situations, with broad juvenile leaves and deep red timber.
