NOTES ON EUCAJLYPTUS. 457 



i 



Calyx Lincoln red, Nos. 1-2 Plate 88, top of calyx or 

 the inner flattish rim bronze yellow, Nos. 1-2 Plate 34. 

 Filaments deep cerise, shading from Nos. 1-3 Plate 123. 

 Colours taken from Rep. de Oouleurs, Dauthenay. 



The plants are stiff growing shrubs 4-5 feet high, with 

 the foliage strikingly Ficus like. The leaves are leathery 

 and the thickest I have seen in a Eucalypt. The midrib is 

 continued 5 mm. beyond the leaf forming a rigid sharp 

 mucro. Filaments tapering towards anthers. The wings 

 of the calyx-tube terminate in short teeth at the commis- 

 sure. The operculum is shallow and woody, and inside 

 shows the mould of the top of the style and of the stigma. 

 Exteriorly it shows cruciform raised ribs, and, in this 

 respect at least it shows affinity with E. erythrocorys. 



23. E. torquata Luehmann. See Crit. Rev. i, 109, 120. 



Bulla Bulling, W.A., December, 1916 (F. Stoward). 

 Hitherto recorded only from the Coolgardie district and 

 also from Widgiemooltha and Norseman (both south of 

 Coolgardie, on the Esperance road; see my note in "Journ. 

 W.A. Nat. Hist. Soc." iii, Jan. 1911.) The new locality is 

 about 20 miles west of Coolgardie. It has flowered freely 

 in the Sydney Botanic Gardens during the last four years, 

 where a shrub of 3 feet 6 inches bears a profusion of palish 

 pink flowers somewhat concealed by the leaves. It is a 

 decided acquisition to horticulture. 



The following is proposed as new: —
