3. With E. piperita, Sm. Penrith is not in E. stellulata 

 country, and the relations of the proposed new species 

 with E. piperita may be examined. The barks resemble 

 each other a good deal. The pointedness and curvature of 

 the young buds reminds one of those of E. piperita. The 

 resemblance of the foliage and anthers would apply more 

 or less to E. eugenioides, haemastoma and piperita. 



It is not possible to submit illustrations in the present 

 case, and they are especially necessary when we make 

 postulations about tree-hybrids; I can only say that they 

 will be fully illustrated in those parts of my " Critical 

 Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus " to be devoted to 

 hybridisation. 



Proposed New Variety. 



E. marginata, Sm, var. Staerii, var. no v. 



King River Road, near Albany, W.A. (J. Staer, August,. 

 1911). 



The fruits of the normal species, as figured by Mueller 

 in the "Eucalyptographia," are depicted as 1.5-2 cm. long 

 and 1*7 cm. broad and tapering somewhat into the thickened 

 pedicel. I have received from Mr. J. Staer, specimens of 

 E. marginata with fruits in the well-dried state rather 

 more than 2 cm. long and broad, and not tapering into the 

 pedicel. Some of the fruits have a well-defined rim. The 

 foliage is coarser than that of the type, and this handsome* 

 large fruited form is evidently a product of special environ- 

 ment.

 made by me in 1902, working on imperfect material, that
