Affinities. 



1. With E. erythronema Turcz. See Plate 93, Part xxii, 

 of my "Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus." The 

 leaves of E. erythronema are narrower, the pedicels longer, 

 the calyx-tubes not ribbed, the filaments pale and not 

 glandular, the opercula conical, the fruits smaller, more 

 flat-topped and less constricted at the orifice. The anthers 

 are not dissimilar, and it would appear that E. Stowardi 

 and E, erythronema are closest allied. 



2. With E. Forrestlana Diels. See Plate 95, Part xxii, 

 of my "Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus." In 

 E. Forrestiana the peduncle is longer, the pedicels more 

 articulate, the anthers more rounded, the filaments less 

 grooved, though glandular. The opercula shorter, more 

 conoid, and less in diameter than the calyx-tube. The 

 fruits larger and more quadrangular, the ridges more pro- 

 nounced. 



3. With E. occidentalis Endl. It appears to be closest 

 allied to this species, but the peduncle is flat in E. occi- 

 dentalis and terete in E. Stowardi. In some forms of E. 

 occidentalis we have also glandular filaments. The buds of 

 E. occidentalis are more terete, i.e., less ribbed; the fruits 

 more urceolate and the valves more exsert, with a much 

 thinner rim. 



4. With E. incrassata Labill. var. angulosa. Compare 

 Plate 14, Part iv, of the " Critical Revision of the Genus 

 Eucalyptus." The foliage of var. angulosa is coarser, the 

 peduncle strap-shaped, the operculum shorter and it and 

 the fruit more corrugate. 



5. With E. Pimpiniana Maiden. See Plate 72, Part xvi, 

 of the "Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus." 

 Attention may be drawn to the imperfectly known E.
