496 J. H, MAIDEN. 
It has been-described by Mr. Cambage and myself in 
Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., Vol. xxx, 193 (1905); see also 
C.R., viii, 216, so there is no need for re-description. 
We constitute as type, Blackheath, Blue Mountains 
(J.H.M., Jan. 1905) as being a conveniently accessible 
locality for obtaining material. 
E. Blaxlandi has sometimes a blue cast of the leaves, 
e.g. Hill Top, N.S.W., p. 215, part viii, C.R:, Eden, etc., and 
hence it sometimes goes under the name Blue Leaf Stringy- 
bark. This bluish cast is often observed in dried specimens 
of young growth from various localities. This blue cast is 
also seen in H. leevopinea. 
The flower buds arein the Port Jackson district (the type 
locality) very angular, and this angularity is very common 
in the species, but even in that district, and frequently 
elsewhere, they may lose their angularity more or less, and 
even become clavate. There is also some variation in the 
size and amount of exsertion of the valves of the fruits. 
7. Ei. EUGENIOIDES Sieb. (1825). 
A good deal of uncertainty and confusion has arisen 
around this species, partly because of the wide variation 
in the juvenile foliage. Fig. 2a, plate 40, represents a 
portion of the type, but we may have it narrower (see la, 
plate 39), or broader (1b, plate 39, or 10a, 14a, 18a, plate 40). 
The very remarkable narrow, sometimes almost linear, 
juvenile leaves, seen in this species are very striking, and 
are so often seen in E. eugenioides that they have got 
to be looked upon as typical (somewhat similar leaves are 
seen in plate 1, O.R. in E. pilularis), and juvenile foliage 
which can by no means be looked upon as narrow, has been 
considered aberrant, whereas the extremely narrow leaves 
are probably themselves aberrant, since they are usually 
seen in crowded branches. Weare beginning to learn that
