NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. Ill 



and branches smooth, whitish-buff, with a few brown semi- 

 detached scales of dead bark." Additional field-notes are 

 very desirable, but it would appear that E. Lane-Poolei is 

 a different tree, and a Powder-bark. 



Comparison however with figures 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 of Plate 

 74 (E. Drummondii), together with a good specimen of the 

 type of this species, is sufficient to show that it and E. 

 Lane-Poolei (figures 4 and 8 of Plate 74) are sufficiently 

 different. The leaves of E. Drummondii are commonly, 

 perhaps preponderatingly ovate-lanceolate, the buds more 

 ovoid; with the opercula longer than the calyx-tube; the 

 fruits are smaller and very different. 



5. With E. Campaspe S. le M. Moore. It is interesting 

 to note a resemblance in the very thick, hemispherical 

 operculum of E. Campaspe, but the anthers are different, 

 and so are the fruits and other characters. But one so 

 frequently receives, particularly from distant places, 

 botanical specimens which are quite fragmentary, and a 

 hint which may put one on one's guard may be useful. 



6. With E. oleosa F.v.M. In its anthers it belongs to 

 the Platyantherae, which includes E. oleosa and its allies. 

 The species are, however, very different in many other 

 respects, but endeavour will be made to discuss these 

 relationships when the seedlings of all the species are 

 brought into comparison.
