Explanation of Plates (124-127). 

 PLATE 124. 



E. resinifera Sin. 



(1-6 may be accepted as typical.) 



la. Buds; 16, bark; being reproductions of figures of " Red Gum tree (Eucalyptus resinifera) " in White!s 

 Journal of a Voyage to Neio Smith Wales, p. 231. (1790.) 



I would suggest that the drawing of the bark may be Angophora lanceolata, while E. tereticornis 

 Sm. is less likely. The buds depicted resemble those of E. resinifera as well as E. tereticornis. 



2. Xeaf, buds and flowers. " Eucalyptus resinifera, Red Gum Eucalyptus." From Smith's " Exotic 



Botany," t. 81 (1805). This is quoted by Bentham as E. resinifera and may be accepted as the type. 



3. Cluster of young buds. Bankstown to Cabramatta, near Sydney. (J. L. Boorman.) Note the egg- 



in-egg-cup appearance, which is well shown in 2. 

 4a. Mature leaf ; 46, plump buds, nine in the head, the operculum quite smooth ; 4c, front and back 



views of anther ; 4(', fruits. Oatley, George's River, near Sydney. (J. H. Camfield.) 

 5. Intermediate leaf. Berowra Bridge, near Hawkesbury River. (J.H.M.) 



0. Buds. Note the angled calyx, and the egg-in-egg-cup appearance. Glenbrook, Blue Mountains. 



(J.H.M.) 

 [7-9 include var. grandiflora Benth., an unfortunate name, which includes E. hemilampra F.v.M. (a small- 

 fruited form), and I 'cannot separate it from typical E. resinifera by any marked character.] 

 7. " Ewe. resinifera. Resinous Eucalyptus." from Andrews' '' k Botanical Repository," Vol. 6, Plate 400. 

 In B.E1. iii, 240, Bentham quotes this as his var. grandiflora, but the buds are scarcely "ovoid," 



although they correspond to the remainder of the description " the operculum broad 



and thick at the base, with a rather long beak or gradually tapering." The name grandiflora should 

 be abandoned as misleading. . 



8n, S6. Mature leaves ; 8c, buds (there is no abrupt line of demarcation between calyx -tube and operculum) ; 



8(7, fruits. Bankstown to Cabramatta. (J. L. Boorman.) 

 On. Buds; 96, front and back views of anther? ; 9c, fruits. (Caley, 1809.) 



PLATE 125. 



[Nos. 1-3 are a continuation of Nos. 7-9 of Plate 124.] 

 E. resinifera Sm. 



1. Juvenile leaf. Bankstown to Cabramatta. (J. L. Boorman.) 



. Bud?. Tintenbar, Richmond River. N.S.W. (\V. Baeuerlen, No. 956.) 

 u-i. Juvenile leaves; 36, mature leaf; 3c, buds; 3d, front and 3c, back view of anthers; 3/, fruits. Bucca 

 Creek, near Coff's Harbour, N.S.W. (J. L. Boorman.) Compare 3a with 9. 



E. pellita F.v.M. (in part). 



(Nos. 4-10 are provisionally submitted as coming under E. pellita F.v.M., or, perhaps more 

 accurately, transit forms between that species and E. resinifera. These forms, together with 

 figs. 1-3 of Plate 126, seem to be transit forms between the E. resinifera of Plate 124. and 

 typical E. pellita of Fig. 4, Plate 126.) 



4. Buds, with pointed opercula. Currawang Creek, South Coast, N.S.W. (W. Baeuerlen). 



5(7. Mature leaf; 56, buds, with bluntly conical opercula; 5c, fruits. Milton, N.S.W. (R. H. Cambago, 



No. 4074.) 

 On. Ovoid buds; 06, unripe fruits. Top of Barrengarrv Mountain, near Moss Vale. (R. H. Cambage 



and J.H.M.) 

 7«. Buds with rounded opercula; 76, buds with conoid opercula; 7c, fruits; Id, fruit, viewed from the 



top; 7c, leaf. Springwood. (J. L. Boorman.)
