Report, 1877, iv, p. 17. 



From Daylesforcl, Victoria, in the Deep Leads. 

 Following is the original description : — 



Leaves usually about 5 or 6 inches long and 10 lines wide, falcate, acuminate, rapidly tapering 

 near the petiolate base; .substance thick; veins delicate, numerous, oblique, subparallel, with rather 

 few branches, or anastomosis; intramarginal one moderately close to the edge. 



The foliage of this species is almost identical in size and shape with that of the living Eucalyptus 

 globulus, but the veins are much more numerous, straighter, or less flexuous, and more nearly parallel in 

 the fossil than in the living analogue.

This will he found in a paper " Descriptions of New Species of Fossil Leaves from the 

 Tertiary Deposits of Mount Bischofi (Tasmania) belonging to the genera Eucalyptus, 

 Laurus, Quercus, Cycadites, etc." 



Following is the original description : — 



Leaf lanceolate, acuminate, slightly bent, and very attenuate towards the acute apex ; base 

 rounded and tapering, about 4| inches long and 21 millimetres wide; substance evidently thin, midrib 

 well marked; lateral veins numerous and very delicate, subparallel, almost horizontal near midrib, the 

 most prominent being very indistinct and curving upwards, at junction with intramarginal vein, the least 

 prominent usually anastomosing before reaching the same vein ; intramarginal vein delicate, wavy, 

 following moderately close to the edge. This form is easily distinguished by its most delicate, close, and 

 almost horizontal veins, and by its extremely acuminate apex.
