NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 221 



Affinities. 



1. With E. Guilfoylei, Maiden. Although there are 

 precedents, I hesitate to describe a species in absence of 

 inflorescence, and without this, the description must be 

 incomplete. But I have no doubt as to the validity of the 

 species. It is closely allied to the Yellow Tingle Tingle 

 (E. Guilfoylei, Maiden), 1 the wood of which is pale, of a 

 yellow colour and heavy, that of the present species being 

 red, and lighter in weight. 



The Red Tingle Tingle is a much larger and thicker tree 

 than the Yellow Tingle Tingle, the latter having been 

 observed only up to five feet in diameter. 



As regards the adult leaves, those of E. Guilfoylei are 

 always symmetrical or nearly so; those of the new species 

 are more or less oblique, shorter and broader. 



The oil dots in E. Guilfoylei are a greater distance apart 

 than in the case of the new species, over the leaves of which 

 they are evenly and abundantly diffused, while the secondary 

 veins are further apart and ramify more in the case of the 

 leaves of E. Guilfoylei. 



2. With E. patens, Benth. Mr. H. S. Brockman says 

 that " in general appearance the trees resemble very much 

 the Blackbutt," (E. patens). Reference may be made to 

 the original description of E. Guilfoylei, where there are 

 some comparative references to E. patens.
