DESCRIPTION. 



Eucalyptus oecidentalis EndL, var. oranensis Trabut. 



E. oecidentalis Endl. var. nov. oranensis. The typical form is a medium-sized and irregular tree. 

 In the Department of Oran there is a race very different and worthy of a name. The flowers and the 

 capsules are borne on long and slender peduncles and pedicels. The tree is of fine appearance as one can 

 see in the Domain of L'Habra. This form, or one very closely related to it, has been distinguished in 

 America under the name of E. californica Hort. 



DESCRIPTION. 



CCXCVIIL x E. pseudo- globulus (Hort.) Naudin. 



Reputed parents, E. globulus Labill, and (?). 



E. fseudo-giobulus Hort. In the sowings of M. Trottier one may observe a globulus with very long 

 leaves, with flowers in threes on a rather long compressed peduncle, with fruit half as small as in globulus. 

 This Eucalypt comes true by seed. 



It is very difficult to affirm that this deviation from type is of hybrid origin, but it is well 

 characterised, and remains constant. 



This form is referred to by Naudin in the following words : — " Nous ne lui connaissons jusqu'ici 

 qu'une seule variete, celle qui a recu le nom de pseudo-globulus, qui ne se distingue du globulus ordinaire 

 que par le volume de ses fruits, de trois ou quatre fois plus petits que ceux du type commun. II y a 

 d'aillcurs tous les passages entre les extremes de volume." 



I have received specimens from Dr. Trabut. I have notes on it in Proc. Linn, 

 Soc, N.S.W., xxviii, p. 899 (1903) and xxx, p. 499 (1905). In the latter reference I 

 was not satisfied of its hybrid nature, but I am now.
