; ' Leaves similar to those of E. oleosa var. longicornis (Morrell). (Fragm. XI, 13.) 



E. salubris differs in the following important points — its non-broad juvenile 

 leaves, its brown timber, its anthers. Its most important similarity is in the buds, 

 which can be ascertained by a reference to Plate 65, Part XV, but even in those forms 

 of E- oleosa which most closely resemble it in this respect, the difference in the fruit, 

 with the long tips of the capsules, is sharp. 



4. With E. redunca Schauer. 



" The umbel-stalks and fruits are not dissimilar to those of E- redunca " Eucalyp- 

 tographia" under E- salubris.) 



" Pedicels and fruit not dissimilar to those of E. redunca^ (Fragm. XI, 13.) 



The drawings of E. redunca on Plate 140, Part XXXIV, may be referred to. 

 With reference to the points noted by Mueller, the timber of E. salubris is brown, but 

 may also be of a reddish brown. It is tough and hard, and not very dissimilar in general 

 appearance to that of E. redunca, which has also a brown timber. E. redunca is a 

 denizen of swamps chiefly in the south-western part of the State; E. salubris is a native 

 of the drier parts of the State. The operculum of E. rudis is attenuated. 



The trunk of E. salubris is very different to that of E. redunca. 



5. With E. spathldata Hooker (occidentalis var., spathulata). 



" . . . . The operculum however almost of E. spathulata, but more obtuse" 

 (Mueller, in Fragm. XI, 13). And again, " The lid resembles that of E. spathulata 

 (" Eucalyptographia," under E. salubris). 



Compare the drawings of E. spathulata in Part XXXV of the present work. 

 The foliage of E. spathulata is nearly linear in the type, lanceolate, and certainly much 

 broader in E. salubris. The opercula are, at all events in the type, more cylindroid 

 in E. spathulata. The leaves of E. spathulata are less rich in oil. In instituting com- 

 parisons it will of course be understood that our knowledge of E. spathulata in the field 

 is very imperfect.
