CXLL E. maculosa R. T. Baker. 



Synonyms. 



See those enumerated at Part XXVII, p. 126, together with E. Gullicki Baker 

 and Smith, ' ; Research on Eucalypts," ed. ii, p. 128, with figures of two partial umbels 

 of three and two fruits respectively, and an English description, but without the Latin 

 description, as required by botanical law. 



I have received specimens of the type from Mr. Baker, from which I have caused 

 to be prepared the drawing (the first made) to be found in Plate 278. If any of my 

 readers can indicate in what way E. Gullicki differs from the exhaustive series of 

 figures of E. maculosa depicted at Plate 112, and described at pp. 125-129 of Part 

 XXVII, they will further the interests of science. E. Gullicki " is fairly well distributed 

 over the Blue Mountains, N.S.W.," no other locality being given. 



Mr. Baker says it differs from E. maculosa in the shape of the abnormal (juvenile) 

 leaves and fruits, as well as chemical properties of the oil. He also says—" Abnormal 

 (juvenile) leaves lanceolate, rarely ovate, usually under 3 inches long, almost sessile, 

 mucronulate or acute, seldom obtuse, venation netted, oil glands prominent." I have 

 not seen strictly juvenile leaves; those supplied are intermediate forms.
