generally, the foliage of E. alba is not pale-coloured 

 whether arising from glaucousness or not. Both species 

 flourish in moist, low-lying localities. 



2. With E. clavigera, A. Cunn. It differs from this 

 species in the hairiness of the leaves (particularly) in young 

 specimens, so common in E. clavigera, in the numerous 

 flowers, in the great length of the peduncles and pedicels 

 and in the clavate shape of the buds of E. clavigera. The 

 shape of the leaves and the venation may, exceptionally, 

 be a good deal similar in the two species. 



Appendix. — The name Houseana was used by Mr. Fitz- 

 gerald 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 Houseana, W.V.P. after Dr. F. M. 

 House, is among the tallest of the tropical species, it 

 occasionally reaching a height of 80 feet. This tree 

 usually occurs on well-grassed plains between the Isdell 

 and Oharnley Rivers." 



Following are notes on species already published. 

 1. E. angophoroidbs, R. T. Baker, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. 

 Wales, xxv, 676. 

 This species is described as from Colombo, N.S.W., and 

 Towrang, N.S.W. 



Some years ago I received from Mr. Baker specimens (in 

 bud) from Towrang, which he attributed to this species 

 and which I attributed to E. Stuartiana, F.v.M. var. 

 parviflora, and still hold that view. 



Recently, having received certain specimens from Mr. 

 R. H. Oambage which had been collected by Mr. E. O. 

 Andrews, at Wyndham, on the Pambula-Bombala road, I 

 went into the matter again, and find that they are identical 

 with Mr. Baker's Colombo specimens, and I agree with him
