RANGE. 



The type came from the. Coast Range near Rockingham Bay, Queensland, near 

 18 deg. south latitude, and we do hot certainly know it from any other locality. 



Queensland. 



"Tree 15 or 20 feet high, rough bark." Coast Range, Rockingham Bay 

 ( J. Dallachy). The type. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. ptychocarpa F.v.M. 



" Approaches to E. ptychocarpa, with which it agrees in the size and shape of its fruit, but the latter 

 is in no Way lined with prominent longitudinal ridges, nor are the flowers provided with conspicuous stalklets." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," under E. Abergiana.) 



These ridges sharply separate the two species, which will be further compared 

 when E. ptychocarpa is dealt with. 



2. With E. miniata A. Cunn. 



" This species differs from E. Abergiana in narrower leaves, opaque on both sides, axillary solitary 

 flower stalks, longitudinally angular calyces, longer anthers, larger fruits and seeds without any appendage." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," under E. Abergiana.) 



For E. miniata, see Plate 96, Part XXII. The obvious differences are elongated 

 ribbed fruits of E. miniata rarely urceolate as in E. Abergiana'. The ribbing extends 

 to the buds. The coarse inflorescence is sessile as to pedicels in both species. 



3. With E. Watsoniana F.v.M. 



" E. Watsoniana again recedes in narrower leaves, equally coloured on other side, calyces with a 

 varnish lustre and fixed to distinct stalklets, a widely dilated lid which over-reaches the orifice of the calyx- 

 tube, longer stamens, fruits wider at the summit with a furrowed broader rim and unappendiculated seeds." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," under E. Abergiana.) 



The differences of these two species will be dealt with in the next Part (under 

 E. Watsoniana). 



4. With E. corymbosa Sm. 



" E. corymbosa, which likewise occurs as far north as Rockingham Bay, is separated from E. Abet' 

 giana by its narrower leaves, acute at the base, angular and more slender flower-stalks, smaller calyces 

 provided with stalklets and not pale-coloured, a thinner and not obtuse lid. which separates by a distinct 

 suture of the calyx, smaller fruits, more contracted upwards, and the lesser appendage of the seeds." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," under E. Abergiana.)
