281. E. Houseana (W. V. Fitzgerald) Maiden. 



" Very variable in shape and size, lanceolate to broadly lanceolate, glaucous, 

 both surfaces similar, the veins conspicuous, the midrib prominent, the intramarginal 

 vein at a distance from the edge." (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



95. E. macrocarpa Hook. 



" Mr. W. F. Blakely has collected from the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, suckers 

 in which the alternate leaves are 1| inches apart on the shoots. In other words, the 

 broadly lanceolate leaves, which are very shortly petiolate to stem-clasping, have the 

 petioles 1^ inches apart." (Maiden in Journ. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., LIII, 70 (1919). 



53. E. melanophhia F.v.M. 



: This species has pale grey-green leaves with a whitish bloom upon them. These 

 leaves are nearly round, opposite, without leaf-stalks and stem-clasping, a peculiarity 

 which all observers will have noticed belongs to the young state of many gum trees. 

 But, however old the tree, the leaves always have this form. ... I used to think 

 that this was a stunted variety of E. crebra, and I am still not very clear on the subject, 

 as the trees are in many respects so very much alike. But they grow side by side, and 

 the opposite-leaved character of the present species is always maintained. Still the 

 appearance is that of a Eucalypt not fully developed, especially in that whitish bloom 

 on the leaves, and it never is seen of the size or appearance of a fully-grown tree." 

 (J. E. Tenison Woods in Proc Linn. Soc, N.S.W., VII, 335, 1882-3.) 



Father Tenison Woods did well to draw attention to this species as one " not 

 fully developed " ; it was not until some years afterwards that it was realised that it 

 also produced ;< mature leaves," lanceolate in shape. 



72. E. oligantha Schauer. 

 Foliage very scanty. (W. V. Fitzgerald, MSS.) 



243. E. perfoliata R.Br. 

 Leaves glaucous. (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



138. E. Perriniana F.v.M. 



;: The leaves, till a year or two ago, were all opposite, connate and orbicular; 

 upon the trees attaining a height of 10-15 feet the leaves become alternate, petioled 

 and lanceolate, with exactly the form and venation of some forms of E. viminaMs." 

 (Rodway, in Proc. Roy. Soc, Tas., 181, 1895.) 



31. E. Planchoniana F.v.M. 



" Scattered, sickle-shaped lanceolar, prolonged into a narrow apex, slightly 

 less shining beneath, not pellucid dotted, with subtle, much spreading, not crowded 

 veins, the circumferential vein somewhat removed from the edge." (" Eucalypto- 

 graphia.")
