APPENDIX. 



Eucalyptus cochinchinensis Auct. 



In Part I, p. 18 of the present work, there is a list of some non-eucalypts described 

 as Eucalypts. The following may be added. 



The late Dr. C. B. Robinson, the well-known botanical explorer of the Philippine 

 Bureau of Science, Manila, wrote to me on 10th April, 1911, "In the Botanic Gardens 

 at Saigon, I was shown a plant under the name of Eucalyptus cochinchinensis, and told 

 that it is very common both in Cochin China and Cambodia. Subsequently I found it 

 in great abundance in southern Annam. However, I believe it to be a Melaleuca. It 

 may interest you, as it has been referred to Eucalyptus." 



Dr. E. D. Merrill, of the Bureau, sent me the following specimens : — 



1012. C. B. Robinson, 8-3-11, as above. It is Melaleuca Leucadendron L. 



1092. C. B. Robinson, 12-3-11. Melaleuca leucadendron L. Nha-trang, 

 Annam. " A tree 4 m. high, growing at an altitude of 2 metres." 



Explanation of Plates (188-191). 

 PLATE 188. 



E. tetragona F.v.M. 



A. (Lanceolate-leaved series, with rather long petioles. It is not possible to make a sharp line of 

 demarcation, as the leaves are transitional from lanceolate to ovate, but there is a certain amount of 

 convenience in the grouping.) 



la, 16. Juvenile leaves, from the original plate of Eudesmia tetragonaR.BT. in Appendix to Flinders' Voyage, 

 ii, 599, t. 3. 



2. Buds, from shrub of 15 feet, Murchison River. (Augustus Oldfield.) 



3a. Leaf and fruits; 36, fruit, end on. Drummond's No. 69. 



4a. Buds; 46, leaf with fruits; 4e, fruit, as ripe ai is available; id, fruit, end on. Esperance Bay 

 (Correspondent of Mueller). This is the " tiansit to E. eudesmioides," of Mueller, and is the 

 specimen referred to by Mueller at p. 168, and by Diels and Pritzel at p. 168. The fruits are not 

 quite ripe, and therefore imperfectly ribbed; this, I think, has contributed to the confusion 

 concerning this specimen. 



B. (Ovate-leaved series, with rather short petioles.) 



5. Juvenile leaves, showing stellate-hairs. Kalgan Plains, near Mount Stirling Range. (J.H.M.) 



6a. Apparently mature leaf; 66, buds; 6c, front and back views of anther; Qd, flower in elevation; 6e, 

 flower in plan, showing four bundles of stamens. Esperance. (J.H.M.) 



7. Leaves and buds. (Drummond's 4th Collection, No. 75.) (See also Plate 189.)
