This is a particularly unfortunate suggestion, as E. resinifera very rarely 

 produces kino, and it was certainly not kino of this species whic^h. brought this article 

 into medical or any other notice. The name " resinifera " is peculiarly unfortunate 

 as applied to this species, but it would be undesirable to attempt to disturb it now. 



Turning to aboriginal names, " Torumba " was the name in use by the Port 

 Jackson natives, about 1807, according to Caley. It was called " Booah " by the 

 aborigines of the Counties of Cumberland and Camden, according to the late Sir William 

 Macarthur. 



E. resinifera has, in its typical form, buds " egg-in-egg-cup " in shape (this means 

 that they had a second deciduous operculum), and with the operculum not much longer 

 than the calyx-tube ; the calyx-tube slightly ribbed. 



Juvenile leaves of medium width, say 1 J inches wide, with a length of 5 inches. 



In a stunted state this tree, when growing among granite rocks in New England, may have its 

 flower-stalks much shortened, the stalklets vanishing and the lid abbreviated to pyramidal-hemispheric 

 form. (" Eucalyptographia," under E. resinifera.) 



I am not acquainted with this form. 



SYNONYMS. 



1. E. resinifera Sm., var. grandiflora Benth. 



2. E. hemilampra F.v.M. 



1. What is Bentham's var. grandiflora ? 

 Following are his own words :— 



Buds ovoid, about 4 lines diameter, the operculum broad and thick at the base, with a rather long 

 beak or gradually tapering. Fruit about 4 to 6 lines diameter, with a raised rim and exserted valves — 

 Andr. Bot. Rep. t. 400; E. heiwilampra F. Muell. Herb.— Manly Beach, "Forest Mahogany," Woolls; 

 " Swamp Mahogany," Caley. Very near and possibly referable to E. pdlita. (B.F1. iii, 246.) 



What Andr. Bot. Rep. t. 400 is can be seen from fig. 7, Plate 124. 



We know what E. hemilampra F.v.M. is. Fig. 3, Plate 125, which I have 

 compared with the type, is identical with it. 



Neither is a large fruited form, although there is a large fruited form (with the 

 normal one) at Manly Beach, and it was probably collected by Woolls. Neither has 

 ovoid buds. I have dealt with the matter at p. 222, when describing the figures, and 

 have shown that under grandiflora Bentham included normal and large flowering forms, 

 and that it will only continue the confusion if the use of the name var. grandiflora be 

 not dropped.
