NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 59 



Flowers with yellowish filaments, the stamens in fleeted in the 

 bud, anthers broad, thick, white, the slits slightly oblique. 



Fruits urceolate to sub-globose, about 8 mm. in diameter, trun- 

 cate, a little contracted at the orifice, the rim flat or concave, the 

 capsule sunk, but the slender points of the valves protruding. 



The type is from Kalgoorlie, W.A., (J. H. Maiden, Sep- 

 tember 1909), and is in the National Herbarium of New 

 South Wales. It is abundantly figured at Part xv, plate 66> 

 C.R. The type is shown at figures 8 a-d. 



Synonyms. 



1. E. uncinata Turcz. var. rostrata Benth. 



2. E. oleosa F.v.M. var. glauca Maiden. 



1. See B. Fl. iii, 216. In O.R., xiv, 144, I have referred 

 to Drummond's fifth coll. No. 186, which Bentham calls 

 E. uncinata Turcz., var. rostrata Benth. A plant with 

 an acuminate or rostrate operculum (though differently 

 shaped) is figured at 14 a - c, plate 62, but it is not the 

 same as Drummond's plant. It is a form of E. uncinata. 



2. In Journ. W.A. Nat. Hist. Soc, iii, 171 (1911). See 

 also O.R., part xv, p. 167. 



Range. 



We have so long been accustomed to find this species 

 under E. oleosa, that it will be some time before its range 

 is understood. It has a very wide range in the drier parts 

 of the continent. Thus it is widely diffused in Western 

 Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory, and 

 is found, probably not widely, in the Mallee country of 

 Victoria. Many of the New South Wales localities, hitherto 

 attributed to E. oleosa belong to this new species. 



Western Australia. — In O.R., xv, p. 172, will be found a 

 large number of localities, enumerated under JE. oleosa var. 

 glauca, but which belong to this species. All the speci-
