PLATE 240. 



Eucalyptus pruinosa Schauer. 

 (See also figs. 5, <?, 8 (not 7), Plate 54, Part XII.) 



la, 16. Juvenile leaves (16 tending to be lanceolate.) lc. Fruits. Armstrong River, Victoria River 

 district, Northern Territory (P. J. Winters for G. F. Hill, No. 458). I have never seen the buds 

 of this species, or any leaves narrower than those of 16. They should be searched for near the 

 top of the tree. 



Eueafpytus melanophloia F.v.M. 



(See also figs. 13-15, Plate 53, and figs. 1-4, Plate 54, Part XII.) 



2a. Juvenile leaves, prominently stem-clasping. 26. Flower-buds, with subtending leaves. 2c. Fcur 

 anthers, showing variation (compare fig. 136 of Plate 53). 2c/. Fruits which, as compared with 

 figs. 36 and 46 of Plate 54, are sessile. Note also that leaves, buds and fruits are all much larger 

 than those figured in Plates 53 and 54. Croydon, North Queensland (R. H. C'ambage, No. 40X6).

 flower-buds. 3e. Two views of anther. 3/. Fruits, with an end-on view of one (these are as ripe

All from the well-known tree at Whittingehame, near PrestoDkirk, Scotland, the seat of the Earl 

 of Balfour, E.G., and sent by Lady Alice Balfour. See p. 500. It has been given a special name, but 

 (compare Plates 108 and 109 of Part XXVI) I can see no specific difference between it and E, Gunnii,
