205 



A tree of 70 feet, Parish Bobbiwa, County Jamison (Forester Gordon Burrow). 



" Carbeen " or " Moreton Bay Ash." Handsome tree. Smooth limbs, base 

 rough-barked. 3 feet 6 inches thick, 90 or more feet high. In sandy places between 

 40 and 50 miles north-west of Collarenebri (Sid. W. Jackson). 



" .Carbeen," Mt. Mitchell, Warialda district (W. A. AY. de Beuzeville). 



Howell, near Tingha (E. C. Andrews), which seems its coldest and most southerly 

 locality at present. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. papuana F.v.M. 



This has been pretty exhaustively referred to at pages 193, 194, and 198 of Part 

 XXXVII, also Plate 155, and I have not very much to add. Compare Plate 156 of 

 the present Part. 



E. tessellaris and E. papuana are closely related species, but are sharply separated 

 by the narrow juvenile foliage of the former and the, usually, coarse adult foliage of 

 the latter. 



2. With E. elavigera A. Cunn. 



See Part XXXVII, p. 184, and compare Plate 152 with Plate 156 of the present 

 Part. E. elavigera is a spreading tree, reminding one of an Angophora (Apple-tree). 

 E. tessellaris is more erect in habit, and, usually, its bark is more distinctly tessellated, 

 and less fibrous. The foliage of E. elavigera is a contrast in coarseness with that of 

 E. tessellaris, which is a narrow-leaved species at all stages. E. elavigera is usually a 

 hairy species, while E. tessellaris is not. The anthers of the two species are similar. 



3. With E. traehyphloia F.v.M. 



This species shares in some of the characteristics of E. traehyphloia ; but irrespective of the discrepancies 

 of the bark, differs already in the uniform coloration of the leaves, which latter are also generally longer, 

 are less pointed, and show more distinctly the venation; moreover, the inflorescence is loss expanded; the 

 lid is larger and separates by a more sharp] 3--defincd sutural line from the other portion of the calyx; the 

 fruits are also of greater size, though less hard ; the fertile seeds are much larger, comparatively more 

 compressed and distinctly margined ; but the last-mentioned characteristic is not well expressed in the 

 lithographic illustration of E. tessellaris now offered, figure 9 having been drawn from unripe seeds. Again 

 the plate of E. traehyphloia gives the venation of the leaves of that species too prominent, and would be 

 apt in comparison with the lithogram of E. tessellaris to mislead. ("Eucalyptographia," under E. tessellaris.) 



E. traehyphloia is a Bloodwood, and the differences between the two species will 

 be again referred to when E. traehyphloia is arrived at.
