DESCRIPTION. 



CCCLIII. E. xanthonema Turczaninow. 



In Bull. Moscow., xx, Part I, 163 (1847). 

 Following is the original description : — 



Eucalyptus xanthonema ramis teretibus a basi ad inflorescentiani nudis; foliis super flores sitis 

 alternis angiiste lineari-lanceolatis, utrinque aeuminatis, viridibus, pellucido-punctatis, subf alcatis ; 

 umbellis axillaribus 5 floris in panieulam contracture collectis; pedunculis erectis (demum forte deflexis) 

 compressis, petiolo pedieellisque multo longioribus ; pedicellis cupulam turbinatum aequantibus ; operculo 

 (iminatuTo) conico cupulam subaequante. Filainentis rafo aurantiacis insigne ; habitus singularis. Nova 

 Hollandia. Drum. Coll. X. 67. 



A translation of the above will be found at Part XXXIV. p. 97, of the present- 

 work. It will be observed that the type is No. 67 of Drummond's third collection. 

 The type is figured at Part XXXIV. Plate 140, fig. 8, and at figs 9a and 9fe, Drummond's 

 5th Collection. Xo. 187 is also figured, the two numbers forming the co-types of E. 

 redunca Schauer vai. angustij'olia Benth. As 1 am satisfied that it does not belong to 

 E. redunca. the original name of E. xanthonema should be restored. When the amplest 

 material is collected, the position can be reconsidered. If it be not a distinct species, 

 we cannot say to what species it belongs. Mv present suggestion will best secure the 

 interests of science.
