Var. compact a, n. var. 



Juvenile leaves the sam? as in E. globulus in shape, but smaller. 



llilture leaves alternate, lanceolate to falcate-lanceolate, dark green to slightly glaucous, 10 to 

 above 20 cm. long, 1-3 or more cm. broad ; venation the same as in the species. 



Buds glaucous, single or in pairs, occasionally the well-developed peduncle supporting three closely 

 sessile, broadly turbinate to almost hemispherical, glandular-warty, buds; operculum rather small, 

 abruptly apiculate, and, like the calyx-tube, tuberculate. 



Fruit not seen in a fully ripe state ; hemispherical with a rather prominent disc and somewhat 

 deeply sunk valves, usually bicostate, 13 x 15 mm., but when fully developed much larger. 



Tlie fiuit on the whole is much smoother than that of E. globulus, and it is not 

 unlike the fruit of E. bicostata, except that it appears broader at the base, but it may 

 even be found to be narrow- turbinate in fully developed specimens. 



The name var. compacta appears in list of Eucalyptus cultivated in America, but 

 it does not appear to have been described. 



RANGE. 



The only specimens I have seen are those from Golden Gate Park, San Francisco 

 (Miss Alice Eastwood, July, 1921).
