NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 223 



Australia (W. V. Fitzgerald). Collected during the Kim- 

 berley Survey Expedition. 



Affinities, 



1. With E. perfoliata, R. Br. Both have thick perfoliate 

 leaves which generally resemble each other, but those of 

 E. perfoliata are longer. The flowers and inflorescence 

 are different, while the very large fruits which belong to 

 the section Corymbosae, and have sunk valves, are totally 

 different. 



2. With E. alba, Reinw. The fruits have something in 

 common and also the juvenile leaves, which are however, 

 petiolate in E. alba. The buds are very different. The 

 mature leaves of E. alba are never so lanceolate as those 

 of E. Mooreana. E. alba is a glabrous, soft large gum of 

 moist flats, E. Mooreana is a crooked glaucous tree of 

 mountain tops. 



Appendix. — The name was used by Mr. Fitzgerald in the 

 "Western Mail," Perth, W.A., of 2nd June, 1906. No 

 description of the plant was ever published. A small scale 

 photograph was accompanied by the following words : — 

 "Eucalyptus Mooreana, W.V. F. is a new species occurring 

 on the summits of Mounts Broome, Rason, Leake and Bold 

 Bluff. It forms a small crooked tree, with usually mealy- 

 white leaves and pale yellow flowers. It has been named 

 out of compliment to the present Minister for Lands." 



No. 4. Eucalyptus mundijongensis, nov. sp. 



Early in 1909, Dr. J. B. Cleland gave me a photograph of a 

 tree and a few fragments of fruits and leaves from Jarrah- 

 dale, Western Australia. His label was "near Jarrahdale. 

 Fine adherent bark at base, top clean. Near Jarrahdale 

 Forest."
