NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 63 



E. Jutsoni appears to be a coarser plant than E. angus- 

 tissima, and its conoid or tip-cat buds are quite different 

 in shape to those of fig. 7a, which has very short, though 

 distinct, non-tapering pedicels. Fruits of 8 b as depicted 

 could not result from the flowers of E. Jutsoni. The 

 anthers of the two species may not be dissimilar, but I have 

 not seen ripe ones of E. angustissima. After the most 

 careful consideration I am quite satisfied that, although 

 the two species present some points of resemblance, they 

 are distinct. 



2, With E. oleosa F.v.M. var. angustifolia Maiden. This 

 is a narrow leaved form of the species, figured at fig. 17, 

 Plate 65 (the type), with other specimens referred to this 

 form, viz., fig. 18, Plate 65, and fig. 1, Plate 66, with figs. 

 2 and 3, Plate 66, perhaps belonging to it. 



The type of var. angustifolia = E, socialis F.v.M. and 

 it differs from E. Jutsoni in the broader, more distinctly 

 veined leaves, and in the number of flowers in the head. 

 Incidentally it may be pointed out that the buds figured at 

 fig. 1 b, Plate 66, display great similarity to those of typical 

 E. angustissima (fig. 6a, Plate 84). 



3. E. Hillii n. sp. 



Arbor mediocris, cortice tenere squamosa, ramis bevibus, ligno 

 <luro rubro-brunneo. Foliis primariis longe petiolatis, magnis, 

 irregulariter orbicularibus, apice rotundato vel obtuso, glabris 

 crassis, venis fere pinnatis, margine undulato. Foliis rnaturis 

 similibus sed minoribus. Inflorescentia racemosa, floribus paucis 

 plerumque 4 in uinbella, pedunculis longis, teretibus. Calycis 

 tubo piro simile formato, circa # 5 cm. diametro in pedicellum 1 cm. 

 angustato. Operculo hsemispherico vel conico calycis tubo sequi- 

 longo. Antheris longis longitudinaliter aperientibus. Fructus 

 non vidimus. 



A broad-leaved tree of medium size, the bark somewhat tessell- 

 ated or soft scaly, the branches smooth. Timber rich reddish-
