NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 429 
G.S. Perrin,’ before the Australasian Association for the 
Advancement of Science. Although he surmised it might 
be a new species, he simply referred to it as ‘Specimen 
No. 2,’ and stated that the leaves are always perfoliate in 
young or old specimens (which was not correct as regards 
mature leaves if that is what he meant). 
Soon after, the plant was named H. Perriniana by Mueller, 
as Mr. Perrin verbally informed me on more than one 
occasion. I believe the naming took the form of dis- 
tributing the plant with written notes about it. Mueller 
was sometimes a law to himself in such matters. 
Rodway, so far as I am aware, and doubtless with 
Mueller’s sanction, first printed’ the name E. Perriniana, 
F.v.M. The leaves are at first ‘‘all opposite, connate and 
orbicular,’’ later they become ‘“‘alternate, petioled and 
lanceolate.”’ 
Then we have EH. Gunnii, Hook. f., var. glauca, Deane 
and Maiden.’ ‘This description includes specimens of E. 
Perriniana (Snowy Mountains) and at least one other 
species. 
Deane and Maiden, op. cit., xxvi1, 135, (1901) state that 
var. glauca is identical with H. Perriniana, ¥.v.M., and 
quote Rodway (letter of 27th March, 1900) as stating that 
E. Perriniana is ‘‘a very luxuriant young growth of EH. 
Gunnii.”’ 
Op. cit., XXVI, 563, I observed that “‘variety glauca (of 
Gunnii) should not be maintained, and it and HE. Perriniana 
should be simply placed under E. Gunnii, Hook. f., they 
being not sufficiently removed from the type.

Flora,” p. 58, he distinctly states that Mueller suggested the name.
