1879. Mueller, in " Eucalyptographia " (Preface, p. 4, dated 1879), says that 

 from Bentham's " Series of Normales should be dismembered the sub-series of Comutse, 

 to which as forming really a distinct full series the appellation ' Orthostemones ' might 

 most expressively be applied. Some further separations from the Normales may 

 aptly be effected, still . . . ." (but he does not particularise them). 



I see no advantage in substituting the term " Orthostemones " for " Cornutse," 

 and it is of course quite different from Mueller's term " Orthantherse." 



Mueller, 1884. — In 1884, in the concluding Part (X) of the " Eucalyptographia," 

 Mueller, under the caption, " The species of the genus Eucalyptus systematically 

 arranged and their leading characteristics defined," grouped them by anthers ir> four 

 groups, viz. ;— 



I. Benantherse. 



II. Porantherae. 



III. Strongylantherse. 



IV. Orthanthera?. 



(In other words, C4roups III and IV take the place of Parallelanthera?.) 



At the end of the lists he says, " The characteristics of aberrant forms of any 

 species are not covered by this synopsis." 



I. Benantheree. 



Anthers mostly broader than long, usually kidney-shaped, opening anteriorly by divergent, upward, 

 confluent slits. Umbels generally solitary. Fori ile and sterile seeds mostly conformous. 



E. pauci flora (coriacea). E. capitellata. 



E. stellulata. E. rnacronhyncha. 



E. amyr/dalina. E. hcemastoma. 



E. eugenioides. E. Sieberiana. 



E. piperita. E. microcorys. 



E. pilularis. E. marginala. 



E. acmenioides. E. Baileyana.- 



E. obUqua. E. Todtiana. 



E. slricta. E. casta. 



E. anyuslissima. E. buprestium. 



E. Oldfieldii. E. sepulcralis. 

 E. santalifoUa. 



II. Porantherffi. 



(Anthers not, or hardly, broader than long, usually roundish, opening by pores [always minute].) 



E. paniculala. E. uncinata. 



E. leucoxyhn. E. odorala. 



E. melliodora. E. largiflorens (bicolor).
