CC. E. torquata Luehmann. 



Some notes on this species have been already given in Part IV, p. 109, together 

 with detail figures at figs, a-c, Plate 13, and a photo, showing the appearance of the 

 tree in the same Part. 



In Part XXXVIII, p. 225, will be found the original description in full, with 

 some additional notes. 



AFFINITIES. 



The figs. 2, 3, on Plate 233 usefully supplement those on Plate 13, and enable 

 us to understand its relations to other species better. 



1. With E. Floektonice Maiden. 



Some notes on Affinities will be found at Part XXXVIII, p. 226, but no reference 

 is made to E. Floektonice : with flowers and unripe fruits alone available there is a 

 good deal of external resemblance between the two species. 



I will give supplementary figures of this species in Part LVIII (which will be 

 helpful) and will then make some further remarks on the relations of the two species; 

 in the meantime, the following important differences may be pointed out : — The seedlings 

 are very different, those of E. torquata being pedicellate and glaucous, and belong to 

 the Bilobse, those of E. Folcktonice afford the most striking case of decurrence of the 

 leaves in the genus, while the cotyledons belong to the Bisectse, being finely divided, 

 very different to the Bilobse. 



2. With E. angulosa Schauer. 



In " Research on the Eucalypts," 2nd Edition, p. 159, Messrs. Baker and Smith, 

 under E. costata R.Br, say " Desc. by Schau . . . under E. angulosa . . . and 

 recently (sic.) by Luehmann, Vict. Nat. vol. 13, p. 147, 1897, under the name of 

 E. torquata." 



Under the heading of " Remarks," loc. cit., they say, " The smaller fruited 

 variety (of costata) was described by Luehmann under the name of E. torquata, Vict. 

 Nat. vol. 13, p. 147, 1897. To add to the confuson, &c."
