Specimens with fruit of a tree with narrow leaves and shorter peduncles and 

 pedicels than the type, from Cowcowing (Max Koch), appear to be referable to this 

 form (see fig. 5, PI. 66), but they are not normal. 



" Morrel," Quairading, H. St. B. More (communicated by 0. H. Sargent under 

 his No. 718). 



" Morell," 60-90 feet, and up to over 4 feet in diameter, colour of flowers cream. 

 Grows in the eastern district in good soil. Collected near Government dam, Moojebing, 

 near Katanning, Great Southern Railway (Dr. F. Stoward, No. 121). 



Broome Hill, Great Southern Railway, " Poot " (Dr. A. Morrison, Louis Dillon, 

 J.H.M.). 



Coolgardie (L. G. Webster). Buds figured at fig. 2, Plate 67. Coolgardie 

 (E. Pritzel, No. 716), referred to in Part XV, p. 172, as E. oleosa var. glaucx 



Mount Hunt, near Kalgoorlie (Dr. A. Morrison). 



Most of the above specimens are referred to in Part XV, p 171. No. 5454, 

 L. Diels, is E. Dwidasi Maiden, see Part XXXIII. 



AFFINITIES. 



The species to which E. longicornis are must closely related are E. oleosa and 

 E. transcontinentalis. See under the former species, at p 280. 



1. With E. oleosa F.v.M. 



" E. longicornis may only be the favourably developed arboreous state of 

 E. oleosa.'' (" Eucalyptographia," under E. oleosa.) This will be further dealt with in a 

 tabular form, at p. 280. 



2. Witli E. salmonophloia F.v.M. 



' The characters that separate it from E. salmonophloia are the persistent bark, 

 the operculum, longer and more acute, the slender style, and the distinctly larger fruits." 

 ( Original description.) If we turn to Plr.te 73 (Part XVII) for E. salmonophloia, we 

 may compare it with Plate 66 (Part XV) for E. transcontinentalis. The two species 

 differ in most points, although there are undoubted affinities between E. salmonophloia 

 and the oleosa group.
