NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 499 
EK. Muelleriana, while most commonly called Yellow 
Stringybark, often also goes under the name of White 
Stringybark, apparently through laying stress on the 
weathering of the bark. 
The seedling-leaves are longer-lanceolate than those of 
H. macrorrhyncha, are stem-clasping, and with stellate 
glands rather than stellate hairs. This species is, as regards 
seedlings, close to H. pvilularis, as indeed the fruits also 
show. It sharply differs from EK. eugenioides in the seed- 
lings. 
10. HK. L&VoOPINEA R. T. Baker (1898). 
This isa species with clavate, shiny buds, and commonly 
a flat, nearly horizontal rim, but with perplexing relations 
to H. Muelleriana, HE. eugenioides and HE. macrorrhyncha. 
It seems, in its approximately typical form, to be confined 
to the northern parts of N.S.W., e.g. Rylstone, Upper 
Hunter, Liverpool Range, Counties of Hawes and Pottinger, 
Nundle, southern New England. 
In its typical form it is large-fruited, but smaller-fruited 
forms are found over a wider range. A smaller fruited 
form has been given by Messrs, Baker and Smith the variety 
name of minor, but it is quite impossible to separate this 
from EK. eugenioides. The form with the non-exsert valves 
to which they have given the name E. Wilkinsoniana can- 
not be separated from E. lcevopinea, even as a variety. 
Great acquisitions have been made to the National Her- 
barium during the last few years, and some forms have 
disclosed an amount of variation which was not thought 
possible at one time. Iam of opinion that the Stringybark 
species are variable to an extent not exceeded by any other 
group of Hucalypts. The remarks made by me in regard 
to var. minor and EH. Wilkinsoniana in C.R., viii, p. 221, 
were written thirteen years ago, and, having been care-
