I have classified recorded notes on the baric in Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., xlvii, 

 81, as follows : — 



1. Bark dirty grey, rugose, fissured on trunk and persistent on the branches. 

 This is the original description. 



2. '" An Ironbark " (B.FL, hi, 221, under E. drepanophjlla). A mistake arising 

 out of the long-continued confusion with E. drepcmophylla. 



3. Dark persistent rugged bark (ih. under E. lepiophleba). Perhaps this is 

 intended for a free translation of the original description. 



4. " Breaking up into nnmerous small angular pieces in the manner of 

 E. tessellaris " (Eucalyptographia, under E. crebra). 



5. "A box, hardly to be distinguished from E. populifolm." (Dr. T. L. Bancroft, 

 in a letter to me). 



Air. Pi. H. Cambage favoured me with a photograph of the tree, which is a Box. 

 I hope to reproduce my photographs of typical Eucalyptus barks later. 



SYNONYM. 



E. Stoneana F. M. Bailey in Queensland Agric. Journ., xxiii, p. 259 (1909) with 

 two plates. 



The type comes from Stannary Hills, North Queensland (Dr. T. L. Bancroft). 



Mr. Bailey described it as follows : — ■ 



Bastard Gum-leafed Box of the locality. Plates 31 and 32. A large tree with a rather close, hard, 

 persistent greyish bark, about 1 inch thickness. Wood, outer yellow, inner red. Branchlets angular, 

 slender, and probably more or less glaucous when fresh. Leaves alternate, thin-coriaceous, 6 to 101- inches 

 long, from 7 lines to 3 inches wide, broadest and roundly-cuneate at the base, the apex blunt or acuminate ; 

 margins more or less repand, midrib alone prominent, principal parallel transverse nerves distant, but faint 

 like the reticulate veins, the intra-marginal nerve always close to the edge of leaf. Oil-dots very numerous 

 and minute. Petioles slender, from 1- to l\ inch long. Inflorescence axillary, panicles elongated, primary 

 peduncles about 1 inch long, secondary 9 lines, irregularly angled, bearing umbels of from two to six flowers, 

 often somewhat crowded at the end of the branchlets. Flowers, when fully expanded, about 1 inch diameter. 

 Operculum thin, hemispherical, or with a very minute point. Stamens about 4 lines long, inflected in the 

 bud, all fertile, in three irregular rows. Anthers globose, bursting at the top. Style slightly exserted, 

 stigma peltate, scarcely larger than the style. Fruit oval-globose, including the pedicellate lowerdialf 

 about 8 lines long, diameter about 4 lines at the top. the outside portion smoothish, the lower pedicel-like 

 portion angular; rims thin, capsule deeply sunk, the top dome-shaped; cells four or rive. Seed dark 

 brown, bluntly triangular to thick cuneate and furrowed, about I line long.
