6. E. Foelschiana F.V.M. 

 I have already quoted Mueller's opinion that hybridisation may account for 

 some of the forms to which E. Foelschiana belongs. (Maiden, Trans. Aust. Ass. Adv. 

 Science, 1904.. p. 303.) 



7. E. GoMPHO-OCCIDENTALIS Hort. 



8. E. Gtjnnii-globulus Hort. 

 They have both been distributed by MM. Vilmorin, Andrieux and Cie, are near 

 E. gomphocephala DC. as far as fruits are concerned, but I have not seen complete 

 specimens, and am therefore unable to criticise the nomenclature as indicative of the 

 supposed parents. 



9. E. hemiphloia F.v.M. x E. melliodora A. Cunn. 



Mr. A. D. Hardy refers to a reputed hybrid of E. hemiphloia x melliodora, between 

 Stawell and the Grampians, in Proc. Roy. Soc. Vict., xxix (new series), p. 169 : — ■ 



On the way from Stawell to the Grampians, and near Brigg's Creek, on Rome's Gap road, there is, 

 in a paddock lately occupied by Mr. Wills as a bee-farm and range, a tree which seemed to be a hybrid 

 (E. hemiphloia x E. melliodora), with foliage, fruit and bark satisfying the requirements of the former, and 

 with buds distinctly nearer the latter species. Both species grew in the district, but with no E. melliodora 

 lately in the immediate neighbourhood. E. melliodora (Yellow Box) sometimes — frequently in the silurian 

 country near Alexandra. &c. — assumes a drooping habit like Salix babylonica, or the Weeping Elm ; many 

 trees may be found aggregated in a locality, or scattered amongst those of more or less erect habit, but 

 E. hemiphloia avoids this weeping habit entirely, so far as my experience goes. 



Mr. Hardy proceeds to describe heterotropy (reversed direction of growth of 

 a branch and branchlets) in this tree. 



10. E. hybrida Maiden. 

 See this work, Part XLII, p. 48. It is assumed to be a hybrid between 

 E. paniculata Sm. and E. hemiphloia F.v.M. 



11. E. intermedia R. T. Baker. 

 It was originally suggested as a hybrid between E. corymbosa Sm. and E. maculata 

 Hook. See this work, Part XXXIX, p. 256, for Mr. Baeuerlen's original statement. 

 Such a surmise explains some of the facts. 



12. E. KlRTONIANA F.V.M. 



Suggested parents, E. robusta Sm. and E. resinifera Sm. 



Mueller in " Eucalyptographia," under both " E. resinifera " and " E. robusta," 

 refers to a tree which partakes of the characters of both, and for which he proposes 

 the provisional name of E. Kirtoniana. There are reasons for supposing that this 

 tree is a hybrid, one of whose parents being probably E. rostrata (robusta in original ; 

 rostrata.a misprint). (Maiden in Trans. Aust. Ass. Adv. Science, 1904, p. 302.) See 

 Part XXIX of the present work, p. 203.
