" The general appearance of the foliage is similar to that of E. eximia, being 

 glaucous and drooping, and sometimes with a dull yellow tint. The leaves are fairly 

 large, acuminate lanceolate-falcate, even the young sucker leaves are so. The very 

 young tips are at times various shades of purple-brown." (W. F. Blakely and D. W. C. 

 Shiress, Copmanhurst district, New South Wales.) 



40. E. populifolia Hook. 



Following is a translation of Hooker's original words, quoted at Part X, p. 339 : — 

 " Branchlets slender, terete, leaves with long petioles, subrhomboid orbicular, very 

 obtuse subcuneate at the base, finely penniveined, venation oblique, close to the margin, 

 somewhat thickened . . ." 



" Scattered, on rather long stalks, orbicular-ovate or rounded, very shining and 

 intensely green on both sides, occasionally verging into an oval-lanceolar form; veins 

 very spreading, but not crowded, the circumferential vein distinctly removed from the 

 edge." (" Eucalyptographia.") 



218. E. pyrophora Benth. 



" Leaves lanceolate, rigid and coriaceous, shining, the midrib prominent, the 

 margin nerve-like, the veins pinnately arranged at an angle of about 60 degrees to the 

 midrib. (C. A. Gardner, Kimberleys.) 



132. E. quadrangulata Deane and Maiden. 

 " The leaves of the Nundle tree also display small tubercles irregularly 

 distributed along the margins of the leaves, and notable if only because they have so 

 rarely been seen in the genus. Their occurrence in E. nitens has already been referred 

 to." (Part XIX, p. 416.) 



50. E. Ravereticma F.v.M. 



" Scattered, of thin consistence, oval or oftener elongate-lanceolar, almost equal- 

 sided, or but slightly sickle-shaped, opaque, copiously dotted by pellucid oil glands, 

 paler underneath; veins very fine, slightly distant, the marginal vein very near the 

 edge." (" Eucalyptographia.") 



At Part XII, p. 61, is the following note :—" The figure in the ' Eucalyptographia ' 

 is not a very good one. While the tree has many leaves of the shape depicted, yet there 

 are also numerous long lanceolar leaves, as figured at fig. 3a, Plate 53, of the present 

 work." 



155. E. resinifera Sm. 



" Ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, straight or falcate, mostly 4-6 

 inches long, rather thick, with numerous fine close parallel and almost transverse veins, 

 sometimes scarcely conspicuous, the intramarginal one close to the edge." (B. Fl., 

 III, p. 245.)
