NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 493 
In many respects these plants form one of the most 
difficult groups of the Kucalypts. Ihave dealt with the 
subject at some length in O.R. viii, (1907). Since that 
time I have never ceased to give attention to the group, 
including study of various seedlings over long periods. 
I submit notes on some (not all) of the Stringybark species. 
5. EH. CAPITELLATA Sm. (1793). 
The following specimens seem to call for special mention: 
_a. Middle Harbour, Port Jackson (J. H. Camfield, 29th 
May, 1897) See 4a, 4b of Plate 37. O.R. The juvenile 
leaves are often leathery in texture, cordate to orbicular, 
with a mucro. 
This form seems to be dwarf, or at all events it does 
not grow into a large tree so far as has been noted. It 
includes my Round Mountain, Guy Fawkes specimens (col- 
lected 1893), and the Walcha and Deepwater specimens of 
Messrs. Cambage and Andrews, allfrom New England (see 
O.R., viii, pp. 214, 215). 
Going south, this form seems to extend round the coast 
at least as far as Portland, Victoria (see figs. 8 to 10, plate 
37, C.R.) and also apparently to the Mount Lofty Range, 
South Australia. It is to be noted that the young foliage 
may also be thinner and softer than the thick specimens 
which often attract the eye because of their coarseness. 
b. Adwarf form (almost mallee like), foliage very scabrous 
in a young state (abundantly provided with stellate hairs) 
cordate, sometimes approaching orbicular, and never 
lanceolate in the young state. When young it irresistibly 
reminds one of Angophora cordifolia. When the leaves 
are small as well as young, they may remind one of those 
of a Correa, and indeed are striking looking. As the leaves 
mature, they become shiny on both sides, very coriaceous 
and oblong to broadly lanceolate, with a mucro, and with
