2. With E. astringens Maiden. 



E. Sargenti was included in E. occidentalis Endl. var. astringens Maiden (in part), 

 in Part XXXVI, p. 146, " Grows only in bed of Salt River . . . Great Southern 

 Railway." Figured at 4a, 4b, 4c, Plate 149. Some of the differences from 

 E. astringens have been already indicated at p. 54. 



E. astringens has affinity with E. Sargenti in the disc. 



3. With E. Garclneri Maiden. 



The principal differences between E. Sargenti and this species may be said to 

 consist in the distinctly blue foliage of the latter. See also E. Gardneri. 



XL E. Rlsdoni Hook, f., var. elata Benth. 



SYNONYM. 



E. hypericifolia R. Br. See Part VI, p. 173, 1905 (" Notes on the Synonyms "), 

 where I state the conclusion : " I cannot separate any specimens (of E. hypericifolia) 

 I have seen, from E. Risdoni or its var. elata." 



In his paper, " Notes on Eucalyptus Risdoni Hooker," by L. Rodway (Pap. 

 and Proc, Roy. Soc, Tas., 367, 1910), the species or variety hypericifolia is dealt with. 

 Mr. Rodway provisionally refers four forms (a, b, c, d) to it, and figures form c (upper 

 portion of Plate XI) and form d (lower portion of Plate XII), together with first year 

 seedling of form d (upper portion of Plate XII), second year seedling of form d( lower 

 portion of Plate X), third year seedling of form d (upper jiortion of Plate X). 



In his 1917 paper (op.cit.) on" Tasmanian Eucalypts," p. 13, lie states that 

 E. hypericifolia is " Cabbage Gum," and that the juvenile leaves differ from those of 

 E. Risdoni in being more lanceolate and long. 



In spite of the caution inculcated by me (op. cit., 87, 1918), after further con- 

 sideration I do not see how they can be kept apart. Through the kindness of Dr. A. B. 

 Rendle, P.R.S. (British Museum, Botany), I have received a specimen of the juvenile 

 leaves of E. hypericifolia R. Br. (type), and it is figured at fig. 3, Plate 254. The 

 original was labelled " Eucalyptus hypericifolia R. Br., in coll. saxos prope Risdon 

 Cove, R. Brown." It was subsequently given the number '4789.
