1. With E. hcemastoma Sm. var. micrantha Benth. (A "White Gum.") 



The affinities lie in the smoothness of the branches, the fruits, and the young 

 (intermediate) leaves. (Original description of E. Penrithensis.) 



2. With E. eugenioides Sieb. (A " Stringybark.") 



The bark indicates some affinity to the Stringybark, and there is also affinity 

 in the foliage (as also with the White Gum). There is some (not close) resemblance 

 in the fruits, while the pedicellate fruit is seen in the White Gum. (Original description 

 of E. Penrithensis.) 



Some remarks on supposed hybridism in which E. eugenioides takes a part, will 

 be found under E. Laseroni, p. 187. 



3. With E. piperita Sm. 



Penrith is not in E. stellulata country, and the relations of the proposed new 

 species with E. piperita may be examined. The barks resemble each other a good 

 deal. The pointedness and curvature of the young buds reminds one of those of 

 E. piperita. The resemblance of the foliage and anthers would apply more or less to 

 E. eugenioides, hcemastoma, and piperita. (Original description of E. Penrithensis.)
