Normal form, 70 miles north of Kurrawang (J.H.M.). 



Glaucous form also 70 miles north of Kurrawang (J.H.M.) Wholly glaucous 

 and with sessile buds. I have proposed the name of variety glauca for this form. 



' Tree of 50 feet> 18 inches diameter, stamens white." 12 miles north-east of 

 Kanowna (W. V. Fitzgerald). 



AFFINITIES. 



So far as I know, the twisted stem renders this species unique, and this character 

 need not be repeated in making the comparisons which follow. 



The anthers open in parallel slits; the gland at the back extends nearly, the 

 full length; the filament is attached nearly at the base. They tend to be unique, at 

 all events I know of no near relation, but the affinities, as indicated by the seedlings 

 and other organs, have not yet been finally gone into. 



The species is allied to many, e.g., E. angustissima, E. leptopoda, E. oleosa, and E. redunca, but 

 is to be easily distinguished by one character or another, but in the shape of the leaves, as well as in 

 their abundant oil-bearing glands, they are sufficiently like the narrow-leaved variety of E. amygdalina. 

 (Original description.) 



Let us take these species seriatim,. 



1. With E. angustissima F.v.M. 



Species somewhat resembling E. angustissima, but the tall stature (although this is variable in 

 many Euealypts) the breadth of the leaves, the dilated flattened peduncles seen in E. salubris, separate it 

 from that species. (Mueller in Fragm. XI, 13.) 



For E. angustissima see Plate 84, Part XIX. It is a shrub, with linear leaves. 

 The buds of the two species are a good deal alike, and these seem to present the closest 

 resemblance, the rim of the fruit in E. angustissima is more domed. The anthers are 

 different. 



2. With E. leptopoda Benth. 



For this species see Plate 73, Part XVII. The leaves of E. leptopoda have a 

 greater similarity to E. salubris than E. angustissima have, but they are less shiny. The 

 buds present differences with the round peduncles and long pedicels of E. leptopoda, 

 and the buds of the latter have the operculum more pointed. The fruits of E. leptopoda 

 are more tazza-like, while that species is a shrub. 



3. With E. oleosa F.v.M. 



Mueller (" Eucalyptographia " ) speaks of this as one of the species whose re- 

 lations to E. salubris are not yet clearly understood. At a matter of fact herbarium 

 specimens of the two species were and are not infrequently confused, even by Mueller, 

 describer of both species.
