NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 219 



Buds. In an irregular corymb, not seen in a young state; 

 after the opercula have fallen off the calyx-tube is some- 

 what urceolate. 



Flowers not seen by me, but stated to have white fila- 

 ments. 



Fruits. Ovoid to nearly spherical, sometimes constricted 

 at the orifice, thus taking on an urceolate shape. Large, 

 3 cm. long and 2*5 cm. broad with an aperture of 1 cm. 

 and less. Tips of valves well sunk. Seeds large, wing 

 rudimentary. 



Habitat. Happy Valley, Jarrahwood Railway, Western 

 Australia. Generally in poor sandy country. Forest 

 Ranger W. Donovan, July, 1912. 



Affinity. 

 The affinity at once suggested is E. ficifolia, F.v.M.,but 

 the filaments of the new species are white, and the fruits 

 are of a different shape, viz., smaller and more spherical, 

 those of E. ficifolia being somewhat cylindroid. The seeds 

 of the latter species also are winged, its bark is more 

 fibrous and its timber paler; it lacks the rich cedar-coloured 

 timber of the present species.
