DESCRIPTION. 



CCCXCII. x E. McClatchie Kinney. 



Described in " Eucalyptus." p. 188 (1895) by Abbott Kinney, Los Angeles, 

 California, U.S.A. (with one half-tone photograph). 



Leaves long-stalked, scattered, lanceolar or sickle-shaped, rather narrow, equally dull green; umbels 

 solitary, axillary; stalk compressed, about as long as calyx-tube, stalklets short; calyx-tube truncate 

 vrith two edges and tendency to be somewhat flattened or a little out of a true circle ; buds very angular, 

 ridges showing almost as wings ; lid hemispheric, acuminate, central point of lid blunt and prominent 

 valves enclosed, bark sheds in long strips ; general appearance of tree suggests Eucalyptus globulus or 

 Eucalyptus goniocalyx; anthers oblong, dorsal gland prominent; stamens all fertile, inflexed in bud; 

 stigma not or scarcely broader than style. 



RANGE. 



Los Angeles, California (Abbott Kinney, 28th December, 1903). It is not known 

 whether this tree is still in existence. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. Mortoniana Kinney. 

 The buds of McClatchie have longer pedicels and shorter operculum than those 

 of E. Mortoniana. The common peduncle of the former is longer and thinner than that 



of the latter. 



2. With E. pseudo-globulus (Hort.) Naudin. 

 E. McClatchie is somewhat like E. pseudo-globulus in the leaves, but differs from 

 it in the shape of the operculum and in the fruit. It is perhaps nearer to this species 

 than any other known to me.
