It 5 



For E. fasciculosa see Plate 61, Part XIV, of the present work. E. fasciculosa 

 has red timber, different shaped buds and fruits (without striae), while its anthers have 

 terminal pores. 



2. With E. obtusiflora DC. 



In the 1856 description of E. dadocalyx already referred to is the statement 

 that it somewhat resembles E. obtusiflora. This is an unfortunate suggestion, but it 

 was made over 60 years ago. 



E. obtusiflora belongs to the Renanthera?. and is figured at Plate 43, Part X. 



3. With E. urnigera Hook f. 



" It is related to E. urnigera, . . . in the section of Leiophoise, because the floral characteristics 

 are very similar: it differs in the imperforate, somewhat discoloured leaves, the not distinctly wrinkled- 

 striate calyx-tube, and perhaps in the important marks of the fruit." (Original description of E. coryno- 

 cahjx.) 



Mueller again refers to the comparison in the following passage : — 



'" The nearest affinitv is with E. urnigera, which species is, however, strictly confined to the alpine 

 regions of Tasmania, and probably -never attains a height of over 50 feet; moreover, the leaves of the 

 latter are of equal green on both sides, and copiously beset with pellucid oil-glands, nor is the tube of the 

 calyx wrinkled or streaked." (" Eucalyptographia," under E. comyocalyx.) 



Compare Plate 80, Part XVIII, of the present work. The similarities of the two 

 species are in the general outline (not in the sculpture) of the buds. The shapes of the 

 fruits are very different; the anthers are different. 



4. With E. gomphocephala DC. 



Mueller, in the original description of E. corynocalyx, says " The species also some- 

 what resembles E. gomphocephala." See Plate 92, Part XXI. The only obvious 

 resemblance is the operculum of increased diameter, which is very much more exag- 

 gerated in E. gomphocephala. The timbers of both species are pale; that is the only 

 other resemblance which occurs to me at present. The bark of E. gomphocephala is 

 woolly: that of E. dadocalyx (corynocalyx) is a gum. 



5. With E. phoenicea F.v.M. 



Compare Plate 96, Part XXII. There is a general resemblance in buds, and 

 even in fruits, but E. phoenicea is a tropical species, with a flaky (micaceous) bark, 

 crimson filaments and a two-celled ovary. There appears to be no close relation. 



6. With E. torquata Luehmann. 



Compare figures 6a to c. Plate 13 of Part IV. The buds are very different in 

 shape in the two species, but there is ribbing in both buds and fruits, very much inten- 

 sified in E . torquata. 



The anthers of E. dadocalyx have some resemblance to those of E. torquata. 

 The filaments are pink or crimson in the latter species, which is rough-barked, and the 

 relations of the two species do not appear to be close. 



7. With E. Cooperiana F.v.M. 



The affinity with this species is dealt with at p. 168.
