2. With Angophora. 



. . . the strongly toothed calyx demonstrates some transit towards 

 Angophora, although the lid is no ways dissolved into petals as in that genus, nor can 

 the operculum be rightly regarded as petaloid, it being quite of the texture and structure 

 normal in most Eucalypts, indeed, in this respect not different from the lid of E. Preissii, 

 E. terminalis, E. Abergiana, and a few other species, in which the calyx is rather 

 irregularly ruptured than circumcised by a clearly defined sutural line; at best only 

 the inner layer of the lid could be assumed to be corollaceous, but it is closely connate 

 with the outer stratum as usual in the genus." {" Eucalyptographia.") 



The relations of the Eudesmieae to Angophora will be treated at greater length 

 in my grand classification of the various species of Eucalyptus.
